1 Maccabees 4:30-35 World English Bible (WEB)

30. And he saw that the army was strong, and he prayed and said, Blessed are you, O Saviour of Israel, who did quell the onset of the mighty man by the hand of your servant David, and did deliver the army of the Philistines into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and of his armor bearer:

31. shut up this army in the hand of your people Israel, and let them be ashamed for their host and their horsemen:

32. give them faintness of heart, and cause the boldness of their strength to melt away, and let them quake at their destruction:

33. cast them down with the sword of them that love you, and let all that know your name praise you with thanksgiving.

34. And they joined battle; and there fell of the army of Lysias about five thousand men, and they fell down over against them.

35. But when Lysias saw that his array was put to flight, and the boldness that had come upon them that were with Judas, and how they were ready either to live or to die nobly, he removed to Antioch, and gathered together hired soldiers, that he might come again into Judaea with even a greater company.
