unto Simon were given three thousand men to go into
Galilee, and unto Judas eight thousand men for the country of
Galaad.

1 Mac 5:21
Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought many battles
with the heathen, so that the heathen were discomfited by him.

1 Mac 5:22
And he pursued them unto the gate of Ptolemais; and there
were slain of the heathen about three thousand men, whose spoils
he took.

1 Mac 5:23
And those that were in Galilee, and in Arbattis, with their
wives and their children, and all that they had, took he away
with him, and brought them into Judea with great joy.

1 Mac 5:24
Judas Maccabeus also and his brother Jonathan went over
Jordan, and travelled three days' journey in the wilderness,

1 Mac 5:25
Where they met with the Nabathites, who came unto them in a
peaceable manner, and told them every thing that had happened to

1 Mac 5:30
And betimes in the morning they looked up, and, behold, there
was an innumerable people bearing ladders and other engines of

1 Mac 5:31
When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that
the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a

Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus,
