55 In the days when Yehudah and Yonatan (Jonathan) were in the land of Gilead, and Shim’on (Simon) his brother in Galil before Ptolemais, 56 Yosef (Joseph) the son of Zekaryah (Zechariah), and Azaryah, rulers of the army, heard of their exploits and of the war, and what things they had done. 57 They said, “Let’s also get us a name, and let’s go fight against the Gentiles who are around us.” 58 So they gave orders to the men of the army that was with them, and went towards Yavneh. 59 Gorgias and his men came out of the city to meet them in battle. 60 Yosef and Azaryah were put to flight, and were pursued to the borders of Yehudah. About two thousand men of Yisrael fell on that day. 61 There was a great overthrow amongst the people, because they didn’t listen to Yehudah and his kindred, thinking to do some exploit. 62 But they were not of the family of those men by whose hand deliverance was given to Yisrael.

63 The man Yehudah and his kindred were glorified exceedingly in the sight of all Yisrael (Israel), and of all the Gentiles, wherever their name was heard of. 64 Men gathered together to them, acclaiming them.
