1 Maccabees 7:43-45

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴³ And the armies joined battle on the thirteenth day of the month Adar: and the army of Nicanor was defeated, and he himself was first slain in the battle.

⁴⁴ And when his army saw that Nicanor was slain, they threw away their weapons, and fled:

⁴⁵ And they pursued after them one day's journey from Adazer, even till ye come to Gazara, and they sounded the trumpets after them with signals.
