15 Wherefore Judas with his company, calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without rams or engines of war did cast down Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce assault against the walls,
16 and took the city by the will of God, and made unspeakable slaughters, insomuch that a lake two furlongs broad near adjoining thereunto, being filled full, was seen running with blood.
17 Then departed they from thence seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Char´aca unto the Jews that are called Tubi-e´ni.
18 But as for Timo´theus, they found him not in the places: for before he had dispatched any thing, he departed from thence, having left a very strong garrison in a certain hold.
19 Howbeit Dosith´eus and Sosip´ater, who were of Maccabe´us' captains, went forth, and slew those that Timo´theus had left in the fortress, above ten thousand men.
20 And Maccabe´us ranged his army by bands, and set them over the bands, and went against Timo´theus, who had about him an hundred and twenty thousand men of foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen.
21 Now when Timo´theus had knowledge of Judas' coming, he sent the women and children and the other baggage unto a fortress called Carnaim: for the town was hard to besiege, and uneasy to come unto, by reason of the straitness of all the places.
