1 Maccabees 4:31
King James VersionSource notes
“Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:”
Context
28The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.
29So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.
30And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armourbearer;
31Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:
32Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction:
33Cast them down with the sword of them that love thee, and let all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving.
34So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain.
