1 Maccabees 16:5-7

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵ And they arose in the morning, and went into the plain: and behold a very great army of footmen and horsemen came against them, and there was a running river between them.

⁶ And he and his people pitched their camp over against them, and he saw that the people were afraid to go over the river, so he went over first: then the men seeing him, passed over after him.

⁷ And he divided the people, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: but the horsemen of the enemies were very numerous.
