42Euen so destroy thou this host before vs this day, that the rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy Sanctuary, and iudge thou him according to his wickednesse. 43So the thirteenth day of the moneth Adar, the hostes ioyned battell, but Nicanors host was discomfited, & he himselfe was first slaine in the battell. 44Now when Nicanors host saw that he was slaine, they cast away their weapons, and fled. 45Then they pursued after them a dayes iourney from Adasa, vnto Gasera, sounding an alarme after them with their trumpets. 46Whereupon they came forth out of all the townes of Iudea round about, and closed them in, so that they turning backe vpon them that pursued them, were all slaine with the sword, and not one of them was left.
