31 When Nicanor saw that his plan had been discovered, he went out to fight Judas near Capharsalama.[a] 32 About five hundred men of Nicanor’s army fell; the rest fled to the City of David.[b]
33 (A)After this, Nicanor went up to Mount Zion. Some of the priests from the sanctuary and some of the elders of the people came out to greet him peaceably and to show him the burnt offering that was being sacrificed for the king.
