Judas and Jonathan in Gilead

²⁴ Judas Maccabeus and his brother Jonathan crossed the Jordan and traveled for three days into the wilderness. ²⁵ They encountered the Nabateans, who greeted them in peace and related all that had happened to their people in Gilead: ²⁶ “Many of them have been cornered inside Bozrah and Bosor, in Alema and Chaspho, in Maked and Carnaim.” These were strong and large towns.
