1 Maccabees 4:6-8

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁶ And when it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men only, who neither had armour nor swords.

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.

⁸ And Judas said to the men that were with him: Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.
