1 Maccabees 12:26-30

26 He sent spies also unto their tents, who came again, and told him that they were appointed to come upon them in the night season.
-
27 Wherefore so soon as the sun was down, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms, that all the night long they might be ready to fight: also he sent forth centinels round about the host.
-
28 But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their hearts, and they kindled fires in their camp.
-
29 Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.
-
30 Then Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they were gone over the river Eleutherus.
