9. Remember in what way salvation came to our fathers in the Red Sea, when Pharaoh pursued them with a great army.
10. And now, let us cry out to heaven, and the Lord will have mercy on us, and he will remember the covenant of our fathers, and he will crush this army before our face this day.
11. And all nations shall know that there is One who redeems and frees Israel."
12. And the foreigners lifted up their eyes, and they saw them coming against them.
13. And they went out of the camp into battle, and those who were with Judas sounded the trumpet.
14. And they came together. And the Gentiles were crushed, and they fled into the plains.
15. But the last of them all fell by the sword, and they pursued them even to Gazara, and even to the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia. And there fell from them as many as three thousand men.
16. And Judas returned, with his army following him.
17. And he said to the people: "Do not desire the spoils; for there is war before us.
18. And Gorgias and his army are near us on the mountain. But stand firm now against our enemies, and fight against them, and you shall take the spoils afterwards, securely."
19. And while Judas was speaking these words, behold, a certain part of them appeared, looking out from the mountain.
