10:78 Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where the armies joined battle.
10:79 Now Apollonius had left a thousand horsemen in ambush.
10:80 And 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.
10:81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them: and so the enemies’ horses were tired.
10:82 Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them against the footmen, (for the horsemen were spent) who were discomfited by him, and fled.
10:83 The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol’s temple, for safety.
10:84 But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round about it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with them that were fled into it, he burned with fire.
10:85 Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well nigh eight thousand men.
10:86 And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with great pomp.
10:87 After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem, having many spoils.
