and led his people out and marched to the Vale of Salt, and slew ten thousand of the Beni Sair. The Children of judah also captured
ten thousand persons and brought them to the top of the crags, and threw them from the top of the cliffs, and they were all broken. In the meantime, the men of the
troops whom Amaziah had dismissed from marching with him to the war, Hung themselves upon the villages of judea, from Shomeron and Beth- horon, and slew thirty thousand, and plundered a great booty.
