2 Maccabees 12:36-38

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁶ But when they that were with Esdrin had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord to be their helper, and leader of the battle:

³⁷ Then beginning in his own language, and singing hymns with a loud voice, he put Gorgias' soldiers to flight.

³⁸ So Judas having gathered together his army, came into the city Odollam: and when the seventh day came, they purified themselves according to the custom, and kept the sabbath in the place.
