6 Then he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, and Timotheus was their captain:
7 And he fought many battles with them, and they were discomfited in their sight, and he smote them:
8 And he took the city of Gazer and her towns, and returned into Judea.
9 And the Gentiles that were in Galaad, assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters to destroy them: and they fled into the fortress of Datheman.
10 And they sent letters to Judas and his brethren, saying, The heathens that are round about are gathered together against us, to destroy us:
11 And they are preparing to come, and to take the fortress into which we are fled: and Timotheus is the captain of their host.
12 Now therefore come, and deliver us out of their hands, for many of us are slain.
