1 Maccabees 3:38-40

Wycliffe Bible

³⁸ And Lysias chose Ptolemy, the son of Dorymenes and Nicanor, and Gorgias, mighty men of the king’s friends.

³⁹ And he sent with them forty thousand of men, and seven thousand of horsemen, either knights, that they should come into the land of Judea, and destroy it, by [or after] the word of the king.

⁴⁰ And they went forth, for to go with all their power; and they came, and landed (or encamped) at Emmaus, in the field land.
