2 Maccabees 15:25-27

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

²⁵ Nicanor and his troops advanced with trumpets and battle-songs, ²⁶ but Judas and his troops met the enemy in battle with invocations to God and prayers. ²⁷ So, fighting with their hands and praying to God in their hearts, they laid low at least thirty-five thousand, and were greatly gladdened by God’s manifestation.
