2 Maccabees 12:22

22 After Judas' first tactical unit appeared, the enemy was afraid, especially when the "one who sees all things" appeared to them. They took flight, running here and there, so that many were injured by their own comrades and pierced by the tips of their own swords.

2 Maccabees 12:22 In-Context

20 The Maccabee, dividing the army around him in units, set men in command over the units and moved quickly against Timothy, who had with him one hundred twenty thousand foot soldiers and twenty-five hundred horses.

21 After receiving information about Judas' approach, Timothy sent the wives and children and their belongings ahead to a village called Carnaim. He did this because the place was difficult to surround or attack on account of the narrowness of the approaches.

22 After Judas' first tactical unit appeared, the enemy was afraid, especially when the "one who sees all things" appeared to them. They took flight, running here and there, so that many were injured by their own comrades and pierced by the tips of their own swords.

23 Judas pursued them vigorously. Stabbing sinners left and right, he killed as many as thirty thousand men.

24 Timothy himself fell into the hands of Dositheus, Sosipater, and their men. He skillfully argued that he should be set free, persuading them that he held many parents and other relatives as prisoners who might not receive any consideration.
