29
They marched into Idumea and camped at Bethzur. Judas came to meet them with 10,000 men.
30
When Judas saw how strong the enemy's army was, he prayed, "We will praise you, Savior of Israel. You broke the attack of the giant by the hand of your servant David and you let Saul's son Jonathan and the young man who carried his weapons defeat the entire Philistine army.
31
Now in the same way let your people Israel defeat our enemy. Put them to shame, in spite of all their confidence in their infantry and cavalry.
32
Make them afraid; let their bold strength melt away; let them tremble at the prospect of defeat.
33
We love and worship you; so let us kill our enemies, that we may then sing your praises."
