2 Maccabees 15:26-28

New Catholic Bible

²⁶ but Judas and his troops countered by engaging the enemy with invocations and prayers. ²⁷ Fighting with their hands and praying to God in their hearts, they cut down at least thirty-five thousand men and greatly rejoiced over this manifestation of God’s power. ²⁸ When the battle was over and they were joyfully departing, they recognized Nicanor lying dead in full armor.
