4From whence they remoued and went to Berea, with twentie thousand footmen, and two thousand horsemen. 5Now Iudas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thousand chosen men with him. 6Who seeing the multitude of the other army to be so great, were sore afraide, whereupon many conueyed themselues out of the hoste, insomuch as there abode of them no moe but eight hundred men. 7When Iudas therefore saw that his hoste slipt away, and that the battell pressed vpon him, he was sore troubled in mind, and much distressed for that he had no time to gather them together. 8Neuerthelesse vnto them that remained, he said; Let vs arise and goe vp against our enemies, if peraduenture we may be able to fight with them.
