Wycliffe Bible

¹⁸ And (so) he left Joseph, son of Zechariah, and Azariah, dukes of the people, with the residue host in Judea to keeping (it) (or to guard it);

¹⁹ and (he) commanded to them, and said, Be ye sovereigns to this people, and do not ye smite battle against (the) heathen men, till we (re)turn again. [And he commanded them, saying, Before be ye to this people, and do not ye smite battle against heathen men, till we turn again.]

²⁰ And men were given to Simon three thousands, for to go into Galilee; to Judas soothly eight thousand, into Gilead. [And three thousand men be given to Simon, for to go into Galilee; to Judas soothly eight thousand, into Gilead.]
