1 Maccabees 7:41-43
Common English Bible
41 When the messengers
from the king of the Assyrians
insulted us with words,
your angel went out and struck down
one hundred eighty-five thousand.
42 So crush this army before us today.
Let the rest learn
that he has spoken against
your sanctuary in an evil way,
and judge him for this wickedness.
43 So the armies met in battle on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar.[a] Nicanor’s army was crushed, and he himself was the first to die in the battle.
