35 And Judas diverted to Mizpah, and he fought and seized it. And he killed all of its males, and he took its spoils, and he burned it with fire.
36 From there, he continued on, and he seized Chaspho, and Maked, and Bosor, and the rest of the cities of Gilead.
37 But after these events, Timothy gathered together another army, and he positioned his camp opposite Raphon, across the torrent.
38 And Judas sent men to catch sight of the army. And they reported back to him, saying: "All the nations that surround us have assembled before him, with an exceedingly great army.
39 And they have brought the Arabians as auxiliaries to them, and they have set up camp across the torrent, in preparation to come against you in battle." And Judas went to meet them.
40 And Timothy said to the leaders of his army: "When Judas and his army approach, close to the torrent of water, if he crosses over to us first, we will not be able to withstand him. For he will be able to prevail against us.
41 If, truly, he is afraid to cross over, and so he sets up camp across the river, we will cross over to them, and we will prevail against him."
