2 Maccabees 11:10-12

New Catholic Bible

¹⁰ They advanced in battle order with the aid of their heavenly ally, for the Lord had shown mercy toward them. ¹¹ They charged like lions against the enemy and laid low eleven thousand of them, in addition to sixteen hundred cavalry, and the remaining forces they put to flight. ¹² Most of those who escaped were wounded and without their weapons, and Lysias himself escaped only by taking flight in a cowardly manner.
