2 Maccabees 14:16-18
Revised Standard Version
16 At the command of the leader, they[a] set out from there immediately and engaged them in battle at a village called Dessau.[b] 17 Simon, the brother of Judas, had encountered Nica′nor, but had been temporarily[c] checked because of the sudden consternation created by the enemy.
18 Nevertheless Nica′nor, hearing of the valor of Judas and his men and their courage in battle for their country, shrank from deciding the issue by bloodshed.
