1 Maccabees 9:43-45

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴³ And Bacchides heard it, and he came on the sabbath day even to the bank of the Jordan with a great power.

⁴⁴ And Jonathan said to his company: Let us arise, and fight against our enemies: for it is not now as yesterday, and the day before.

⁴⁵ And behold the battle is before us, and the water of the Jordan on this side and on that side, and banks, and marshes, and woods: and there is no place for us to turn aside.
