2 Maccabees 8:36

36 Thus he that took upon him to make good the tribute for the Romans by means of captives in Jerusalem, told abroad that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt because they followed the laws that He gave them.

2 Maccabees 8:36 In-Context

34 As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to buy the Jews,
35 he was, through the help of the Lord, brought down by those of whom he made least account; and, putting off his glorious apparel and discharging his company, he came like a fugitive servant through the midland unto Antioch, having very great dishonor, for his host was destroyed.
36 Thus he that took upon him to make good the tribute for the Romans by means of captives in Jerusalem, told abroad that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt because they followed the laws that He gave them.
