6 jul 166 año aC - Battle of Beth Horon

Descripción:

The Battle of Beth Horon was fought in 166 BC between Maccabee forces led by Judah Maccabee and an army of the Seleucid Empire under the command of Seron.

The army led by Judah Maccabee had just won a battle against the Seleucid General Apollonius.
Seron spread out his force in anticipation of the Maccabees' guerrilla warfare tactics.

The battle resulted in a decisive victory for the Maccabees, who ultimately defeated the general's leading unit, killing Seron himself.
The rest of the Seleucid force retreated shortly after.

Another force was soon sent against Maccabees, which led to the Battle of Emmaus.
