1 Maccabees 12:26-28 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

26. And he sent spies into their camp, and, returning, they reported that they planned to come upon them in the night.

27. And when the sun had set, Jonathan instructed his men to stand watch, and to be in arms, ready to fight, all night long, and he stationed guards around the camp.

28. And the adversaries heard that Jonathan was prepared, with his own, for warfare. And they were struck with fear and dread in their heart. And they kindled fires in their camp.
