2 Maccabees 15:26 In-Context

24 With your great power, destroy these people who have slandered you and have come out to attack your chosen people." So Judas ended his prayer.

25 Nicanor and his army moved forward to the sound of trumpets and battle songs,

26 but Judas and his men went into battle calling on God for help.

27 So by fighting with their hands and praying to God in their hearts, the Jews killed more than 35,000 of the enemy. How grateful they were for the help they had received from God!

28 When the battle was over and they were going home celebrating their victory, they noticed Nicanor in full armor lying dead on the battlefield.
