10 And so Apollonius gathered together the Gentiles, with a numerous and great army from Samaria, to make war against Israel.
11 And Judas knew about it, and he went forth to meet him. And he struck him and killed him. And many fell down wounded, and the rest fled away.
12 And he took away their spoils. And Judas took possession of the sword of Apollonius, and he fought with it during all his days.
13 And Seron, the leader of the army of Syria, heard that Judas had gathered together a company of the faithful and an assembly with him.
14 And he said, 'I will make a name for myself, and I will be glorified in the kingdom, and I will defeat Judas in warfare, and those who are with him, who have spurned the word of the king.'
