1 Maccabees 9:46

46 Cry out now to heaven so that you may be rescued from our enemies."

1 Maccabees 9:46 In-Context

44 Jonathan said to his companions, "Let's get up now and fight for our lives. Today things are not like they were before.

45 Look! The battle is in front of us and behind us. The water of the Jordan is on this side and on that, with marsh and thicket. There's no place to turn.

46 Cry out now to heaven so that you may be rescued from our enemies."

47 So the battle began. Jonathan reached out his hand to strike Bacchides, but he escaped and went to the rear.

48 Then Jonathan and his forces jumped into the Jordan and swam to the other side. The enemy didn't cross the Jordan to attack them.
