1 Maccabees 12:50-52

New Catholic Bible

⁵⁰ When these learned that Jonathan had been captured and his forces had been slaughtered, they encouraged one another and marched in close formation, ready for battle. ⁵¹ Their pursuers, realizing that they were prepared to fight for their lives, turned back. ⁵² Thus they all returned home safely to the land of Judah. They grieved over Jonathan and his companions and were in great fear, and all Israel was plunged into mourning.
