69 When the enemy soldiers came out of their hiding places and attacked,
70 almost all the Jewish troops ran away, except two officers by the names of Mattathias and Judas.
71 Jonathan ripped his clothes and put dirt on his head to show his sorrow. Then he prayed
72 and returned to the battle. His army defeated their enemies and made them run for their lives.
73 When the Jewish troops that had deserted saw their enemies trying to escape, they returned and helped chase them as far as the enemy camp at Kadesh. The Jews set up camp there,
74 and Jonathan went back to Jerusalem. About 3,000 foreign soldiers were killed that day.
