1 Machabees 12:29-34 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

29. But Jonathan and they that were with him knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.

30. And Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they had passed the river Eleutherus.

31. And Jonathan turned upon the Arabians that are called Zabadeans: and he defeated them, and took the spoils of them.

32. And he went forward, and came to Damascus, and passed through all that country.

33. Simon also went forth, and came as far as Ascalon, and the neighbouring fortresses, and he turned aside to Joppe, and took possession of it,

34. (For he heard that they designed to deliver the hold to them that took part with Demetrius,) and he put a garrison there to keep it.
