Wars with neighboring peoples
1
When the Gentiles living nearby learned
that the altar had been rebuilt and the sanctuary had been dedicated
just as it was before, they became very angry.
2
They sought to wipe out Jacob's
descendants who lived among them. So they started to kill and destroy
the people.
3
But Judas waged war on the descendants
of Esau in Idumea at Akrabattene because they kept ambushing Israelites.
He dealt them a heavy blow, humbling them and taking their goods.
He also took note of the wickedness of Baean's sons, who were trapping, catching, and ambushing people on the highways.
5
Judas shut them up in their towers. He
camped against them, and by promising their complete destruction, he
burned their towers and all who were in them.
6
Then he moved against the Ammonites. He
found a strong group with many people and a man named Timothy as their
leader.
7
Judas had many battles with them, beat them severely, and struck them down.
8
He also captured Jazer and its villages. Then he went back to Judea.
39
They have also hired Arabs to help them.
They're camped across the stream, and they're ready to come and fight
against you." So Judas went out to meet them.
