2 Maccabees 15:27-29

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

²⁷ So, fighting with their hands and praying to God in their hearts, they laid low at least thirty-five thousand, and were greatly gladdened by God’s manifestation.

²⁸ When the action was over and they were returning with joy, they recognized Nicanor, lying dead, in full armour. ²⁹ Then there was shouting and tumult, and they blessed the Sovereign Lord in the language of their ancestors.
