1 Maccabees 4:19 In-Context

17 He said to everyone: "Don't be greedy to plunder, for there is still a battle ahead of us.

18 Gorgias and his force are still near us in the hills. Stand now against our enemies and fight them. Then afterward boldly seize the spoils."

19 Just as Judas said this, a detachment of Gentiles cautiously appeared, coming out of the hills.

20 They saw that their army had been put to flight and that the Jews were burning the camp, as evident from the smoke over the area.

21 When they saw the devastation and noticed Judas' army in the plain ready for battle, they were terrified.
