2 Maccabees 12:21-23

Good News Translation

²¹ When Timothy found out that Judas was coming after him, he sent the women and the children on ahead with the baggage to the city of Karnaim, which was almost impossible to besiege or even to reach, because of the narrow passes that led up to it. ²² But at the moment that Judas' first division came into sight, the enemy forces were thrown into panic by a vision sent by God, who sees everything. In terror they began to run wildly about and many of them were wounded by the swords of their own men. ²³ So Judas and his men pursued them as hard as they could, killing at least 30,000 of the enemy.
