1 Maccabees 4:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ So the year following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand chosen men, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.

²⁹ And they came into Judea, and pitched their tents in Bethoron, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.

³⁰ And they saw that the army was strong, and he prayed, and said: Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst break the violence of the mighty by the hand of thy servant David, and didst deliver up the camp of the strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul and of his armourbearer.
