27 And Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great army, and he sent to Judas and to his brethren deceitfully with friendly words,
28 Saying: Let there be no fighting between me and you: I will come with a few men to see your faces with peace.
29 And he came to Judas, and they saluted one another peaceably: and the enemies were prepared to take away Judas by force.
30 And the thing was known to Judas that he was come to him with deceit: and he was much afraid of him, and would not see his face any more.
31 And Nicanor knew that his counsel was discovered: and he went out to fight against Judas near Capharsalama.
32 And there fell of Nicanor's army almost five thousand men, and they fled into the city of David.
33 And after this Nicanor went up into mount Sion: and some of the priests and the people came out to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the holocausts that were offered for the king.
