1 Maccabees 3:23 In-Context

21 But we are fighting for our lives and for our religion.

22 When we attack, the Lord will crush our enemies, so don't be afraid of them."

23 As soon as Judas had finished speaking, he and his men made a sudden attack against Seron and his army and crushed them.

24 They pursued them down the pass at Beth Horon to the plain and killed about 800 men. Those who escaped fled to Philistia.

25 After that, Gentiles everywhere began to be afraid of Judas and his brothers.
