44 And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before.
45 And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside.
46 Now therefore cry ye to heaven, that ye may be delivered from the hand of your enemies. And they joined battle.
47 And Jonathan stretched forth his hand to strike Bacchides, but he turned away from him backwards.
48 And Jonathan, and they that were with him leaped into the Jordan, and swam over the Jordan to them:
49 And there fell of Bacchides' side that day a thousand man: and they returned to Jerusalem,
50 And they built strong cities in Judea, the fortress that was in Jericho, and in Ammaus, and in Bethoron, and in Bethel, and Thamnata, and Phara, and Thopo, with high walls, and gates, and bars.
