1 Maccabees 5:34-36

Good News Translation

³⁴ When the army under Timothy's command saw that it was Judas Maccabeus, the soldiers turned and fled. Judas crushed them and killed about 8,000 men that day.

³⁵ Then Judas turned aside to attack the town of Alema;^[a] he captured it and killed all the men in it. He looted the town and set fire to it. ³⁶ From there he went on and captured Chaspho, Maked, Bosor, and the other towns of Gilead.
