1 And Gorgias took five thousand footmen, and a thousand chosen horse, and the army removed by night,
2 that it might fall upon the army of the Jews and strike them suddenly: and the men of the citadel were his guides.
3 And Judas heard thereof, and removed, he and the valiant men, that he might strike the king’s host which was at Emmaus,
4 while as yet the forces were dispersed from the camp.
