They came to Idumea and camped at Beth-zur. Judas, on the other hand, went out to meet them with ten thousand men.
30
When Judas saw how numerous their army was, he prayed: Blessed are you, Savior of Israel, who crushed the attack of the mighty warrior through the power of your servant David. You handed over the camp of the Philistines to Saul's son Jonathanand and the man who carried his armor.

32
Fill them with cowardice. Melt away the boldness of their strength. Let them quake in their destruction.
33
Strike them down with the sword of those who love you, and let all who know your name praise you with hymns.
