2 Maccabees 12:22

Listen to 2 Maccabees 12:22
22 But when Judas' first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of Him that seeth all things, fled amain, one running this way, another that way, so that they were often hurt by their own men and wounded with the points of their own swords.

2 Maccabees 12:22 In-Context

20 And Maccabeus arranged his army by bands, and set them over the bands, and went against Timothy, who had about him a hundred and twenty thousand men on foot, and two thousand and five hundred horsemen.
21 Now when Timothy had knowledge of Judas' coming, he sent the women and children and the other baggage unto a fortress called Carnaim; for the town was hard to besiege and difficult to come unto by reason of the narrowness of all the places.
22 But when Judas' first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of Him that seeth all things, fled amain, one running this way, another that way, so that they were often hurt by their own men and wounded with the points of their own swords.
23 Judas also was very earnest in pursuing them, killing those wicked wretches, of whom he slew about thirty thousand men.
24 Moreover Timothy himself fell into the hands of Dositheus and Sosipater, whom he besought with much craft to let him go with his life, because he had many of the Jews' parents and the brethren of some of them, who, if they put him to death, would not be regarded.
