4:6. And when it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three
thousand men only, who neither had armour nor swords:
Who neither had armour nor swords... Such as they wished for.
4:7. And they saw the camp of the Gentiles that it was strong, and the
men in breastplates, and the horsemen round about them, and these were
trained up to war.
4:8. And Judas said to the men that were with him: Fear ye not their
multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.
4:9. Remember in what manner our fathers were saved in the Red Sea, when
Pharaoh pursued them with a great army.
4:10. And now let us cry to heaven, and the Lord will have mercy on us,
and will remember the covenant of our fathers, and will destroy this
army before our face this day:
4:11. And all nations shall know that there is one that redeemeth and
delivereth Israel.
4:12. And the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them coming
against them.
4:13. And they went out of the camp to battle, and they that were with
Judas sounded the trumpet.
4:14. And they joined battle: and the Gentiles were routed, and fled
into the plain.
4:15. But all the hindmost of them fell by the sword and they pursued
them as far as Gezeron, and even to the plains of Idumea, and of Azotus,
and of Jamnia: and there fell of them to the number of three thousand
men.
4:16. And Judas returned again with his army that followed him.
4:17. And he said to the people: Be not greedy of the spoils; for there
is war before us:
4:18. And Gorgias and his army are near us in the mountain: but stand ye
now against our enemies, and overthrow them, and you shall take the
spoils afterwards with safety.
4:19. And as Judas was speaking these words, behold part of them
appeared, looking forth from the mountain.
4:20. And Gorgias saw that his men were put to flight, and that they had
set fire to the camp: for the smoke that was seen declared what was
done.
4:21. And when they had seen this, they were seized with great fear,
seeing at the same time Judas and his army in the plain ready to fight.
4:22. So they all fled away into the land of the strangers.
4:23. And Judas returned to take the spoils of the camp, and they got
much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great
riches.
4:24. And returning home, they sung a hymn, and blessed God in heaven,
because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.
4:25. So Israel had a great deliverance that day.
4:26 And such of the strangers as escaped, went and told Lysias all that
had happened.
4:27. And when he heard these things, he was amazed and discouraged:
because things had not succeeded in Israel according to his mind, and as
the king had commanded.
4:28. So the year following, Lysias gathered together threescore
thousand chosen men, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue
them.
4:29. And they came into Judea, and pitched their tents in Bethoron, and
Judas met them with ten thousand men.
