1 Maccabees 7:30-32

Good News Translation

³⁰ When Judas learned that Nicanor's visit was part of a plot against him, he was afraid and decided not to meet him again. ³¹ Nicanor realized that his plan had been discovered, so he left Jerusalem to meet Judas in battle near Capharsalama. ³² About 500 of Nicanor's men were killed, and the rest of the army escaped to the fort in Jerusalem.
