1 Maccabees 3:19

19 For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of a host, but strength cometh from heaven.

1 Maccabees 3:19 In-Context

17 who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Judas, "How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day?"
18 Unto whom Judas answered, "It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one: to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company.
19 For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of a host, but strength cometh from heaven.
20 They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us and our wives and children, and to despoil us;
21 but we fight for our lives and our laws.
