1 Maccabees 4:18-20

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁸ Gorgias and his force are near us in the hills. But stand now against our enemies and fight them, and afterward seize the plunder boldly.”

¹⁹ Just as Judas was finishing this speech, a detachment appeared, coming out of the hills. ²⁰ They saw that their army^[a] had been put to flight, and that the Jews^[b] were burning the camp, for the smoke that was seen showed what had happened.
