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.
22 But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearance of him that seeth all things, fled amain, one running this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords.
23 Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand men.
