6 So he and his people pitched over against them: and when he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing him passed through after him.
7 That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: for the enemy's horsemen were very many.
8 Then sounded they with the holy trumpets: whereupon Cendebe´us and his host were put to flight, so that many of them were slain, and the remnant got them to the stronghold.
9 At that time was Judas John's brother wounded; but John still followed after them, until he came to Gede´rah, which Cendebe´us had built.
10 So they fled even unto the towers in the fields of Ashdod; wherefore he burned it with fire: so that there were slain of them about two thousand men. Afterward he returned into the land of Judea in peace.
11 Moreover in the plain of Jericho was Ptol´emy the son of Abu´bus made captain, and he had abundance of silver and gold:
12 for he was the high priest's son-in-law.
