2 Maccabees 15:28-30

Good News Translation

²⁸ When the battle was over and they were going home celebrating their victory, they noticed Nicanor in full armor lying dead on the battlefield. ²⁹ Then with loud shouts they praised the Lord in their native language.

³⁰ Judas Maccabeus, who had always fought with all his body and soul for his own people, never losing the patriotism of his youth, ordered his men to cut off Nicanor's head and right arm and to take them to Jerusalem.
