Old Testament in Greek (Septuagint) |
|
|
| 45 | Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites in Gilead, the small and the great, with their wives and children and goods, a very large company, to go to the land of Judah. | | |
|
| 46 | So they came to Ephron. This was a large and very strong city on the road, and they could not go round it to the right or to the left; they had to go through it. | | |
|
| 47 | But the men of the city shut them out and blocked up the gates with stones. | | |
|
| 48 | And Judas sent them this friendly message, "Let us pass through your land to get to our land. No one will do you harm; we will simply pass by on foot." But they refused to open to him. | | |
|
| 49 | Then Judas ordered proclamation to be made to the army that each should encamp where he was. | | |
|
| 50 | So the men of the forces encamped, and he fought against the city all that day and all the night, and the city was delivered into his hands. | | |
|
| 51 | He destroyed every male by the edge of the sword, and razed and plundered the city. Then he passed through the city over the slain. | | |
|
| 52 | And they crossed the Jordan into the large plain before Beth-shan. | | |
|
| 53 | And Judas kept rallying the laggards and encouraging the people all the way till he came to the land of Judah. | | |
|
| 54 | So they went up to Mount Zion with gladness and joy, and offered burnt offerings, because not one of them had fallen before they returned in safety. | | |
