And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And [so] it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Ver. 29. And they pitched one over against the other.] So did the Turks and Christians, under Baldwin, king of Jerusalem: for three months' space they lay facing one another, and then both armies rose; the Christians fearing the multitude of the Turks, and the Turks the valour of the Christians: wherefore they returned without any notable thing done. a But these Israelites neither stayed so long, nor did so little; for after seven days' waiting for the enemy's onset, they fell on, and made a huge slaughter.
