Common English Bible

⁵² After that they crossed the Jordan and came into the large plain in front of Beth-shan. ⁵³ Judas kept rallying those who fell behind and encouraged the people all along the way until he came to the land of Judah. ⁵⁴ They went up to Mount Zion with joy and gladness. They made entirely burned offerings, because they had returned safely. Not one of them had died.
