2 Maccabees 11:12-14
Revised Standard Version
12 Most of them got away stripped and wounded, and Lys′ias himself escaped by disgraceful flight. 13 And as he was not without intelligence, he pondered over the defeat which had befallen him, and realized that the Hebrews were invincible because the mighty God fought on their side. So he sent to them 14 and persuaded them to settle everything on just terms, promising that he would persuade the king, constraining him to be their friend.[a]
