2 Maccabees 15:29
King James VersionSource notes
“Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the Almighty in their own language.”
Context
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.
29Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the Almighty in their own language.
30And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citizens both in body and mind, and who continued his love toward his countrymen all his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor’s head, and his hand with his shoulder, and bring them to Jerusalem.
31So when he was there, and called them of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them that were of the tower,
32And shewed them vile Nicanor’s head, and the hand of that blasphemer, which with proud brags he had stretched out against the holy temple of the Almighty.
