1 Maccabees 10:79

⁷⁷Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to Azotus as one that journeyed, and therewithal drew him forth into the plain. because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put his trust.

⁷⁸Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where the armies joined battle.

— 1 Maccabees 10:79 —

⁸⁰And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment behind him; for they had compassed in his host, and cast darts at the people, from morning till evening.

⁸¹But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so the enemies’ horses were tired.
