(T12) 39 And the men of Makir came upon us the fifth day, to seize our spoil; and we attacked them and overcame them in fierce battle: for there was a host of mighty men amongst them, and we slew them before they had gone up the ascent. (T12) 40 And when we came to their city their women rolled upon us stones from the brow of the hill on which the city stood. (T12) 41 And I and Simeon had ourselves behind the town, and seized upon the heights, and destroyed this city also. (T12) 42 And the next day it was told us that the king of the city of Gaash with. a mighty host was coming against us. (T12) 43 I, therefore, and Dan feigned ourselves to be Amorites, and as allies went into their city. (T12) 44 And in the depth of night our brethren came and we opened to them the gates; and we destroyed all the men and their substance, and we took for a prey all that was theirs, and their three walls we cast down.
