44 and when his troops saw what had happened, they threw down their weapons and ran for their lives.
45 For the rest of the day, Judas and his soldiers chased the enemy troops from Adasa as far as Gazara. They blew trumpets as they went along,
46 and their friends rushed out from nearby villages of Judea. They attacked the enemy from the side and forced them to turn back toward Judas and his army. Not one of Nicanor's troops survived.
47 The Jews took everything of value from the dead enemy soldiers. Then they chopped off Nicanor's head and the right hand he had used to disgrace the temple and took them to Jerusalem, where they displayed them outside the city.
48-49 The Jews held a joyful victory celebration and decided to celebrate on the thirteenth day of Adar each year.
50 And so, there was peace in Judea for a while.
