2 Maccabees 15:25-29
-
25 Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward with trumpets and songs.
-
26 But Judas and his company encountered the enemies with invocation and prayer.
-
27 So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand men: for through the appearance of God they were greatly cheered.
-
28 Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harness.
-
29 Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the Almighty in their own language.
