22 So they all fled away into the land of the strangers.
23 And Judas returned to take the spoils of the camp, and they got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches.
24 And returning home they sung a hymn, and blessed God in heaven, because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.
25 So Israel had a great deliverance that day.
26 And such of the strangers as escaped, went and told Lysias all that had happened.
27 And when he heard these things, he was amazed and discouraged: because things had not succeeded in Israel according to his mind, and as the king had commanded.
28 So the year following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand chosen men, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.
