10Thus they marched forward in their armour, hauing an helper from heauen: for the Lord was mercifull vnto them. 11And giuing a charge vpō their enemies like lions, they slew eleuen thousand footmen, & sixteene hundred horsemen, and put all the other to flight. 12Many of them also being wounded, escaped naked, and Lysias himselfe fled away shamefully, and so escaped. 13Who as hee was a man of vnderstanding, casting with himselfe what losse he had had, and considering that the Hebrewes could not be ouercome, because the Almighty God helped them, he sent vnto them, 14And perswaded them to agree to all reasonable conditions, & [promised] that hee would perswade the king, that he must needs be a friend vnto them.
