67And when he began to smite them, and came vp with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the citie, and burnt vp the engines of warre, 68And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore. For his counsell and trauaile was in vaine. 69Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gaue him counsell to come into the countrey, insomuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to returne into his owne countrey. 70Whereof when Ionathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadours vnto him, to the end he should make peace with him, & deliuer them the prisoners. 71Which thing hee accepted, and did according to his demaunds, and sware vnto him that hee would neuer doe him harme all the dayes of his life.
