2 Maccabees 12:18-20

Common English Bible

¹⁸ They didn’t find Timothy in the area because he left the region without any success, except that he left behind one military force in a well-secured place. ¹⁹ But the Maccabee’s commanders Dositheus and Sosipater marched out and destroyed those Timothy left in the fortified place, killing more than ten thousand men. ²⁰ The Maccabee, dividing the army around him in units, set men in command over the units and moved quickly against Timothy, who had with him one hundred twenty thousand foot soldiers and twenty-five hundred horses.
