56 Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias captain of the soldiers, heard of the good success, and the battles that were fought.
57 And he said: Let us also get us a name, and let us go fight against the Gentiles that are round about us.
58 And he gave charge to them that were in his army, and they went towards Jamnia.
59 And Gorgias and his men went out of the city, to give them battle.
60 And Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and were pursued unto the borders of Judea: and there fell, on that day, of the people of Israel about two thousand men, and there was a great overthrow of the people:
61 Because they did not hearken to Judas, and his brethren, thinking that they should do manfully.
62 But they were not of the seed of those men by whom salvation was brought to Israel.
