1 Maccabees 5:45-68
45 Then Judas assembled all the Israelites, great and small, who were in Gilead, with their wives and children and their goods, a very large company, to go into the land of Judah.
46 When they reached Ephron, a large and strongly fortified city along the way, they found it impossible to go around it on either the right or the left; they would have to march right through it.
verse 46: Ephron: a city in Transjordan opposite Beth-shan,
about nine miles east of the Jordan River.
Situated on a height, it dominated the valleys
of the two tributaries of the Jordan.
47 But the people in the city shut them out and blocked up the gates with stones.
48 Then Judas sent them this peaceful message: “Let us cross your territory in order to reach our own; no one will harm you; we will only march through.” But they would not open to him.
49 So Judas ordered a proclamation to be made in the camp that everyone should take up positions where they were.
50 When the men of the army took up their positions, he assaulted the city all that day and night, and it was delivered into his hand.
51 He put every male to the sword, leveled the city, took spoils and passed through it over the slain.
52 Then they crossed the Jordan to the great plain in front of Beth-shan;
53 and Judas kept gathering the stragglers and encouraging the people the whole way, until he reached the land of Judah.
54 They ascended Mount Zion in joy and gladness and sacrificed burnt offerings, because not one of them had fallen; they had returned in safety.
55 In those days when Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Gilead, and Simon his brother was in Galilee opposite Ptolemais,
56 Joseph, son of Zechariah, and Azariah, the leaders of the army, heard about the brave deeds and the fighting that they were doing.
57 They said, “Let us also make a name for ourselves by going out and fighting against the Gentiles around us.”
58 They gave orders to those of their army who were with them, and marched against Jamnia.
verse 58: Jamnia: Yavneh,
the capital of the province of Azotus (Ashdod).
59 But Gorgias and his men came out of the city to meet them in battle.
60 Joseph and Azariah were routed and were pursued to the frontiers of Judea, and about two thousand Israelites fell that day.
61 It was a great setback for the people, because they had not obeyed Judas and his brothers, thinking that they would do brave deeds.
62 But they were not of the family through whom Israel’s deliverance was given.
Victories at Hebron and Azotus.
63 The valiant Judas and his brothers were greatly honored in all Israel and among all the Gentiles, wherever their name was heard;
64 and people gathered about them and praised them.
65 Then Judas and his brothers went out and attacked the Edomites in the land toward the south; he took Hebron and its villages, and he destroyed its strongholds and burned the towers around it.
66 He then set out for the land of the foreigners and passed through Marisa.
67 On that day some priests fell in battle who had gone out rashly to fight in their desire to do brave deeds.
68 Judas then turned toward Azotus in the land of the foreigners. He destroyed their altars and burned the carved images of their gods; and after plundering their cities he returned to the land of Judah.
hope you have a great day!
