1 Maccabees 10:78-80

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁷⁸ And he went to Azotus as one that was making a journey, and immediately he went forth into the plain: because he had a great number of horsemen, and he trusted in them. And Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, and they joined battle.

⁷⁹ And Apollonius left privately in the camp a thousand horsemen behind them.

⁸⁰ And Jonathan knew that there was an ambush behind him, and they surrounded his army, and cast darts at the people from morning till evening.
