1 Maccabees 9:15 In-Context

13 The ground shook from the noise when the two armies met, and they fought from morning until evening.

14 When Judas saw that Bacchides and the main force of the Syrian army was on the right, all his bravest men joined him,

15 and they crushed the Syrians' right wing. They pursued them as far as the foothills.

16 But when the Syrians on the left wing saw that their right wing had been crushed, they turned to attack Judas and his men from the rear.

17 The fighting became very fierce, and many on both sides were killed.
