Joshua, at the head of a strong detachment, had retreated from the battle, accompanied by Bezaleel, Hur's grandson, Aholiab, his most beloved comrade, the youthful Ephraim, and Reuben, Milcah's husband. Hur's eyes had followed them, while his heart was full of blessings; for they had evidently quitted the battle to save the camp.
