To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
A thousand Israelites in the land of Tob had been put to death ; their wives and children were captives ; and Dametha was besieged by the same Timotheus whom Judas had defeated. . The advance of the relieving force was directed towards the broad plains of Bashan, which had been entirely overrun by the foreigners : cities inhabited by 122 Judas Maccabceus. the Jews, even as far as the famous Ashtoreth Car- naim, east of the sea of Galilee, were either already taken or in danger. Bozrah was besie...ged, as well as Alema, Bosor, Casphor, and Maked, strong places, the very names of which have now perished. Our difficulties in correctly following out the campaign are greatly increased by the imperfect information which we possess as to the position of the various places mentioned. West of Jordan the topography is clear enough ; but the maps of the country to the east are mere sketches, and have been made in hasty journeys by travellers ignorant, as a rule, of the Bedawi language. Nor can we hope to recover the ancient names as completely as in Western Palestine — even if the country be at some future period more perfectly explored — because the eastern Arabs do not preserve the old Hebrew titles with the tenacity of the peasantry west of Jordan.
