1 Maccabees 4:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ Victory over Lysias. Those foreigners who had managed to escape went to Lysias and reported to him everything that had occurred. ²⁷ When he heard the news, he was greatly disturbed and disappointed, because his plots against Israel had not turned out as he had intended and in accordance with the command of the king.

²⁸ So the following year he mobilized sixty thousand picked infantry and five thousand cavalry to defeat them.
