1 Maccabees 6:39-41

Common English Bible

³⁹ When the sun shone on the gold and brass shields, the hills looked like they were on fire from their reflection and glowed like burning torches.

⁴⁰ Part of the king’s army was spread out on the high hills, and some troops were on the plain. They held their ranks and steadily moved forward. ⁴¹ Everyone who heard the noise of marching feet and clanking arms trembled because the army was very large and powerful.
