10. So let’s cry to heaven to see if the heavenly one will favor us and remember his covenant with our ancestors and crush this army in front of us today.

11. Then all the Gentiles will know that there is someone who redeems and saves Israel."

12. The foreigners looked up and saw the Israelites coming against them.

13. They went out from their camp to engage them in battle. The men with Judas blew their trumpets, and the battle began.

14. The Gentiles were crushed and fled into the plain.

15. All those who were in the rear were killed by the sword. The Israelites pursued them to Gazara, to the plains of Idumea, and to Azotus and Jamnia. Three thousand Gentiles died.
