2 Maccabees

2 Maccabees 10:27

γενόμενοι δὲ ἀπὸ τῆς δεήσεως ἀναλαβόντες τὰ ὅπλα προῆγον ἀπὸ τῆς πόλεως ἐπὶ πλεῖον· συνεγγίσαντες δὲ τοῖς πολεμίοις ἐφ’ ἑαυτῶν ἦσαν.
King James Version (KJV)

So after the prayer they took their weapons, and went on further from the city: and when they drew near to their enemies, they kept by themselves.

Modern English

After the prayer, they took up their weapons and advanced further from the city; and as they drew close to the enemy, they kept some distance apart to gather themselves.
