1 Maccabees 9:12
King James VersionSource notes
“As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets.”
Context
9But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be able: let us now rather save our lives, and hereafter we will return with our brethren, and fight against them: for we are but few.
10Then Judas said, God forbid that I should do this thing, and flee away from them: if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour.
11With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their tents, and stood over against them, their horsemen being divided into two troops, and their slingers and archers going before the host and they that marched in the foreward were all mighty men.
12As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets.
13They also of Judas’ side, even they sounded their trumpets also, so that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, and the battle continued from morning till night.
14Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men,
15Who discomfited the right wing, and pursued them unto the mount Azotus.
