17 But when they saw the army coming to meet them, they said to Judas, What? shall we be able, being a small company, to fight against so great and strong a multitude? and we for our part are faint, having tasted no food this day.
18 And Judas said, It is an easy thing for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with heaven it is all one, to save by many or by few:
19 for victory in battle stands not in the multitude of a host; but strength is from heaven.
20 They come to us in fulness of insolence and lawlessness, to destroy us and our wives and our children, for to spoil us:
21 but we fight for our lives and our laws.
22 And he himself will discomfit them before our face: but as for you, be you⌃ not afraid of them.
23 Now when he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and Seron and his army were discomfited before him.
