⁶⁴ And he went against them: but left his brother Simon in the country.

⁶⁵ And Simon encamped against Bethsura, and assaulted it many days, and shut them up.

⁶⁶ And they desired him to make peace, and he granted it them: and he cast them out from thence, and took the city, and placed a garrison in it.
