1 Maccabees 10:76-78

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷⁶ And they that were in the city being affrighted, opened the gates to him: so Jonathan took Joppe.

⁷⁷ And Apollonius heard of it, and he took three thousand horsemen, and a great army.

⁷⁸ And he went to Azotus as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle.
