26 and how that many of them were shut up in Bozrah, and Bezer, and Alema, Casphor, Maked, and Carnaim; all these cities are strong and great:
27 and that they were shut up in the rest of the cities of the country of Gil´e-ad, and that against tomorrow they had appointed to bring their host against the forts, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day.
28 Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bozrah; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire.
29 From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress.
30 And betimes in the morning they looked up, and, behold, there was an innumerable people bearing ladders and other engines of war, to take the fortress: for they assaulted them.
31 When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a great sound,
32 he said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.
