64. And he went and encamped against Bethbasi, and fought against it many days, and made engines of war.

65. And Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth into the country, and he went with a few men.

66. And he struck Odomera and his brethren, and the children of Phasiron in their tent.

67. And they began to strike them, and to go up with their forces. And Simon and they that were with him went out of the city, and set on fire the engines of war,

68. and fought against Bacchides, and he was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore; for his counsel was in vain, and his inroad.

69. And they were very angry with the lawless men that gave him counsel to come into the country, and they killed many of them. And he took counsel to depart into his own land.

70. And Jonathan had knowledge thereof, and sent ambassadors to him, to the end that they should make peace with him, and that he should restore to them the captives.

71. And he accepted the thing, and did according to his words, and sware to him that he would not seek his hurt all the days of his life.
