1 Maccabees 4:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And Gorgias came by night into the camp of Judas, and found no man, and he sought them in the mountains: for he said: These men flee from us.

⁶ And when it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men only, who neither had armour nor swords.

⁷ And they saw the camp of the Gentiles that it was strong, and the men in breastplates, and the horsemen round about them, and these were trained up to war.
