Context
54Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud voice.
55And after this Judas ordained captains over the people, even captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and over fifties, and over tens.
56But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law.
57So the camp removed, and pitched upon the south side of Emmaus.
58And Judas said, arm yourselves, and be valiant men, and see that ye be in readiness against the morning, that ye may fight with these nations, that are assembled together against us to destroy us and our sanctuary:
59For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary.
60Nevertheless, as the will of God is in heaven, so let him do.
