2 Maccabees 10:27-29

Good News Translation

²⁷ When they had finished praying, they took up their weapons, went out a good distance from Jerusalem, and stopped for the night not far from the enemy. ²⁸ At daybreak the two armies joined in battle. The Jewish forces depended upon both their bravery and their trust in the Lord for victory, while the enemy relied only on their ability to fight fiercely. ²⁹ When the fighting was at its worst, the enemy saw five handsome men riding on horses with gold bridles and leading the Jewish forces.
