1 Maccabees 3:19-24 World English Bible (WEB)

19. for victory in battle stands not in the multitude of a host; but strength is from heaven.

20. They come to us in fulness of insolence and lawlessness, to destroy us and our wives and our children, for to spoil us:

21. but we fight for our lives and our laws.

22. And he himself will discomfit them before our face: but as for you, be you⌃ not afraid of them.

23. Now when he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and Seron and his army were discomfited before him.

24. And they pursued them in the going down of Bethhoron to the plain, and there fell of them about eight hundred men; but the residue fled into the land of the Philistines.
