King James VersionSource notes
“When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a great sound,”
Context
28Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire,
29From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress.
30And betimes in the morning they looked up, and, behold, there was an innumerable people bearing ladders and other engines of war, to take the fortress: for they assaulted them.
31When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a great sound,
32He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.
33So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer.
34Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.
