1 Maccabees 4:17 Context
15Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slaine with the sword: for they pursued them vnto Gazera, and vnto the plaines of Idumea, and Azotus, and Iamnia, so that there were slaine of them, vpon a three thousand men. 16This done, Iudas returned againe with his hoste frō pursuing them, 17And said to the people, Bee not greedie of the spoiles, in as much as there is a battell before vs, 18And Gorgias and his hoste are here by vs in the mountaine, but stand ye now against your enemies, and ouercome them, & after this you may boldly take the spoiles. 19As Iudas was yet speaking these words, there appeared apart of them looking out of the mountaine.
