Catholic Bible · DRA · Verse 15 of 60
"And he made himself ready: and the host of the wicked went up with him, strong succours, to be revenged of the children of Israel."
In context
13And Seron captain of the army of Syria heard that Judas had assembled a company of the faithful, and a congregation with him,
14And he said: I will get me a name, and will be glorified in the kingdom, and will overthrow Judas, and those that are with him, that have despised the edict of the king.
15And he made himself ready: and the host of the wicked went up with him, strong succours, to be revenged of the children of Israel.
16And they approached even as far as Bethoron: and Judas went forth to meet him, with a small company.
17But when they saw the army coming to meet them, they said to Judas: How shall we, being few, be able to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, and we are ready to faint with fasting today?
