2 Maccabees 10:27-29

New Catholic Bible

²⁷ After their prayer, they took up their weapons and advanced a considerable distance from the city, coming to a halt when they were near the enemy. ²⁸ Just as dawn was breaking, the two armies joined battle, the one having as a pledge of success and victory not only their own valor, but also their reliance on the Lord, whereas the other had only their own fury to sustain them in battle.

²⁹ When the fighting reached its height, there appeared to the enemy from the heavens five magnificent men, each astride a horse with a golden bridle, and they placed themselves in the forefront of the Jews.
