27 so that, fighting with their hands and praying unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand men; for by the appearance of God they were greatly cheered.

2 Maccabees 15:27 In-Context

25 Then Nicanor and those who were with him came forward with trumpets and songs.

26 But Judas and his company encountered the enemies with invocation and prayer,

27 so that, fighting with their hands and praying unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand men; for by the appearance of God they were greatly cheered.

28 Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, they perceived that Nicanor lay dead in his armor.

29 Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the Almighty in their own language.
