1And in the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander Epiphanes, the son of Antiochus, went up and took possession of square stones for defence; and they did so.
12And the strangers, that were in the hundred and sixtieth year, at the feast of tabernacles, and he gathered together forces, and provided arms in abundance.
22And Demetrius heard these things, and he was grieved, and said,
23What is this that we have done, that Alexander the hundred and threescore and second year:
58And king Alexander met him, the hundred and threescore and fifth year came .
79And Apollonius had left a thousand horse behind them privily.
80And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment behind him. And they compassed round his army, and cast their darts at the people, from morning until evening:
81But the people stood still, as Jonathan commanded them: and their horses were wearied.
82And Simon drew forth his host, and joined battle with Cp. ch. 6.38.the phalanx (for the horsemen were spent), and they were discomfited by him, and fled.
83And the horsemen were scattered in the plain, and they fled to See ch. 4.15.Azotus, and entered into See Judg. 16.23.Beth-dagon, their idol's temple, to save themselves.
84Cp. ch. 16.10.And Jonathan burned Azotus, and the cities round about it, and took their spoils; and the temple of See Judg. 16.23.Dagon, and them that fled into it, Cp. ch. 11.4.he burned with fire.
85And they that had fallen by the sword, with them that were burned, were about eight thousand men.
86And from thence Jonathan removed, and encamped against ch. 11.60 & 12.33. Judg. 1.18. Judith 2.28.Ascalon, and they of the city came forth to meet him with great pomp.
87And Jonathan, with them that were on his side, returned unto Jerusalem, having many spoils.
88And it came to pass, when king Alexander heard these things, he honoured Jonathan yet more;
89And he sent unto him ch. 11.58 & 14.44.a buckle of gold, as the use is to give to such as are of the kindred of the kings: and he gave him Josh. 13.3 & 15.11,45. Zech. 9.7, al.Ekron and all the coasts thereof for a possession.
