23 so now also, O Sovereign of the heavens, send a good angel before us to bring terror and trembling:
24 through the greatness of your arm let them be stricken with dismay that with blasphemy are come here against your holy people. And as he ended with these words,
25 Nicanor and his company advanced with trumpets and paeans;
26 but Judas and his company joined battle with the enemy with invocation and prayers.
27 And contending with their hands, and praying to God with their hearts, they killed no less than thirty and five thousand men, being made exceeding glad by the manifestation of God.
28 And when the engagement was over, and they were returning again with joy, they recognized Nicanor lying dead in full armor;
29 and there arose a shout and tumult, and then they blessed the Sovereign Lord in the language of their fathers.
