2 Maccabees 12:11

11 whereupon there was a very sore battle; but Judas' side by the help of God got the victory, so that the nomads of Arabia, being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising both to give him cattle and to please him otherwise.

2 Maccabees 12:11 In-Context

9 he came upon the Jamnites also by night, and set fire to the haven and the navy, so that the light of the fire was seen in Jerusalem two hundred and forty furlongs off.
10 Now when they were gone from thence more than a mile on their journey toward Timothy, no fewer than five thousand men on foot and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon him,
11 whereupon there was a very sore battle; but Judas' side by the help of God got the victory, so that the nomads of Arabia, being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising both to give him cattle and to please him otherwise.
12 Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profitable in many things, granted them peace, whereupon they shook hands; and so they departed to their tents.
