Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

4 Then Gorgias took five thousand men, and a thousand of the best horsemen: and they removed out of the camp by night.

² That they might come upon the camp of the Jews, and strike them suddenly: and the men that were of the castle were their guides.

³ And Judas heard of it, and rose up, he and the valiant men, to attack the king's forces that were in Emmaus.
