18 Judas said to his soldiers:God doesn't care how many soldiers Seron has or how few we have. Our small army can easily destroy his forces.
19 It isn't the size of the army, it is the power of God that wins battles.
20 Seron and his troops are arrogant sinners who want to kill us and our families, so they can steal everything we own.
21 But we're fighting for our faith as much as for ourselves.
22 God will let us wipe out Seron's army. So don't be afraid!
23 Judas and his soldiers struck quickly. They defeated Seron and his army
24 and chased them to the valley below the hills of Beth-Horon. Eight hundred enemy soldiers were killed, and the rest ran away to the country of the Philistines.
