1 Maccabees 6:39 Context
36These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him. 37And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him. 38As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks. 39Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire. 40So part of the king's army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order. 41Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty. 42Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king's army six hundred men.
