1 Maccabees 4:18-25 World English Bible (WEB)

18. and Gorgias and his host are near to us in the mountain. But stand you⌃ now against our enemies, and fight against them, and afterwards take the spoils with boldness.

19. While Judas was yet making an end of these words, there appeared a part of them looking out from the mountain:

20. and they saw that their host had been put to flight, and that the Jews were burning the camp; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done.

21. But when they perceived these things, they were sore afraid; and perceiving also the army of Judas in the plain ready for battle,

22. they fled all of them into the land of the Philistines.

23. And Judas returned to spoil the camp, and they got much gold, and silver, and blue, and sea purple, and great riches.

24. And they returned home, and sang a song of thanksgiving, and gave praise to heaven; because his mercy is good, because his mercy endures for ever.

25. And Israel had a great deliverance that day.
