13 The fighting lasted from daylight until dark, and the ground trembled because of the noise.
14 At one point in the battle, Judas looked over at the right side of the enemy army and saw Bacchides and many of his best soldiers there. So Judas and his bravest troops attacked
15 and destroyed most of that part of the enemy army. The few who escaped were chased as far as Mount Azotus.
16 When the soldiers on the left side of Bacchides' army learned that the rest of their army had been wiped out, they swung around and attacked from behind.
17 The fighting was fierce, and many from both armies were either killed or wounded.
18 Judas himself died in the battle, and the rest of the Jews ran away.
19 Jonathan and Simon took the body of their brother Judas back to Modein and buried him in the family tomb.
