Valesii.) had not the Jews in the country, and those sent by Jonathas, come to his aid. He did not, however, give them a suitable reward. Calmet.—Three thousand faithful slew 100,000 infidels; ( Worthington.) or the were joined by others who were already in the king’s army, ( Bible.) or in the neighbourhood, ( Calmet.) as well as by the rest of the foreign troops, though the Jews were the most active and numerous.
