1 Maccabees 16:7

7 Then he divided the army and placed the cavalry in the center of the infantry, for the cavalry of the enemy were very numerous.

1 Maccabees 16:7 In-Context

5 Early in the morning they started out and marched into the plain, where a large force of infantry and cavalry was coming to meet them; and a stream lay between them.

6 Then he and his army lined up against them. He saw that the soldiers were afraid to cross the stream, so he crossed over first; and when his troops saw him, they crossed over after him.

7 Then he divided the army and placed the cavalry in the center of the infantry, for the cavalry of the enemy were very numerous.

8 They sounded the trumpets, and Cendebeus and his army were put to flight; many of them fell wounded and the rest fled into the stronghold.

9 At that time Judas the brother of John was wounded, but John pursued them until Cendebeus reached Kedron, which he had built.
