1 Maccabees 12:50-52

Good News Translation

⁵⁰ The Jewish troops thought that Jonathan had been captured and killed, along with all those who had accompanied him, so they encouraged one another and marched out in battle formation. ⁵¹ When the approaching enemy forces saw that the Jews were ready to fight for their lives, they turned back. ⁵² Then the Jewish soldiers returned to Judea safely, but terribly afraid. The whole nation was in deep mourning, assuming that Jonathan and all his men had been killed.
