2 Maccabees 15:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ But Judas, and they that were with him, encountered them, calling upon God by prayers:

²⁷ So fighting with their hands, but praying to the Lord with their hearts, they slew no less than five and thirty thousand, being greatly cheered with the presence of God.

²⁸ And when the battle was over, and they were returning with joy, they understood that Nicanor was slain in his armour.
