1 Maccabees 16:4
3. But now I am old, and ye, by God's mercy, are of a sufficient age: be ye instead of me and my brother, and go and fight for our nation, and the help from heaven be with you.4. So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and rested that night at Modin.5. And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horsemen came against them: howbeit there was a water brook betwixt them.
