King James Version with Apocrypha
“And after the feast, called Pentecost, they went forth against Gorgias the governor of Idumea,”
— 2 Maccabees 12:32, King James Version with Apocrypha
“And after Pentecost they marched against Gorgias, the governor of Idumea.”
From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six hundred furlongs from Jerusalem,
But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and entreated them kindly in the time of their adversity;
They gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still unto them: and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks approaching.
And after the feast, called Pentecost, they went forth against Gorgias the governor of Idumea,
Who came out with three thousand men of foot and four hundred horsemen.
And it happened that in their fighting together a few of the Jews were slain.
At which time Dositheus, one of Bacenor’s company, who was on horseback, and a strong man, was still upon Gorgias, and taking hold of his coat drew him by force; and when he would have taken that cursed man alive, a horseman of Thracia coming upon him smote off his shoulder, so that Gorgias fled unto Marisa.
