Accordingly Judas, upon considering what was fit to be done, with
relation to the necessity both these cases required, gave order that Simon
his brother should take three thousand chosen men, and go to the assistance
of the Jews in Galilee, while he and another of his brothers, Jonathan,
made haste into the land of Gilead, with eight thousand soldiers. And he
left Joseph, the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, to be over the rest of
the forces; and charged them to keep Judea very carefully, and to fight
no battles with any persons whomsoever until his return. Accordingly, Simon-went
into Galilee, and fought the enemy, and put them to flight, and pursued
them to the very gates of Ptolemais, and slew about three thousand of them,
and took the spoils of those that were slain, and those Jews whom they
had made captives, with their baggage, and then returned home.
