1 Maccabees 5:33 In-Context

31 So Judas saw that the battle had begun and that the cry of the city went up to Heaven with trumpets and loud shouts,

32 and he said to the men of his forces, "Fight today for your brethren!"

33 Then he came up behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets and cried aloud in prayer.

34 And when the army of Timothy realized that it was Maccabeus, they fled before him, and he dealt them a heavy blow. As many as eight thousand of them fell that day.

35 Next he turned aside to Alema, and fought against it and took it; and he killed every male in it, plundered it, and burned it with fire.
