Judas Defeats Nicanor(A)
21 Judas' words encouraged his men and made them willing to die for their religion and their country. He then divided his army into four divisions 22 of about 1,500 men each, with himself and his brothers Simon, Joseph, and Jonathan each in charge of a division. 23 (B)After ordering Eleazar to read aloud[a] from the holy book, he gave his men the battle cry:
God will help us, and personally led the attack against Nicanor.
