Now at this time there were ten thousand other disorders in Judea,
which were like tumults, because a great number put themselves into a warlike
posture, either out of hopes of gain to themselves, or out of enmity to
the Jews. In particular, two thousand of Herod's old soldiers, who had
been already disbanded, got together in Judea itself, and fought against
the king's troops, although Achiabus, Herod's first cousin, opposed them;
but as he was driven out of the plains into the mountainous parts by the
military skill of those men, he kept himself in the fastnesses that were
there, and saved what he could.
