2 Maccabees 15:25
King James VersionSource notes
“Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward with trumpets and songs.”
Context
22Therefore in his prayer he said after this manner; O Lord, thou didst send thine angel in the time of Ezekias king of Judea, and didst slay in the host of Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand:
23Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, send a good angel before us for a fear and dread unto them;
24And through the might of thine arm let those be stricken with terror, that come against thy holy people to blaspheme. And he ended thus.
25Then Nicanor and they that were with him came forward with trumpets and songs.
26But Judas and his company encountered the enemies with invocation and prayer.
27So that fighting with their hands, and praying unto God with their hearts, they slew no less than thirty and five thousand men: for through the appearance of God they were greatly cheered.
28Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harness.
