1 Maccabees 6:42-44

Revised Standard Version

⁴² But Judas and his army advanced to the battle, and six hundred men of the king’s army fell. ⁴³ And Elea′zar, called Av′aran, saw that one of the beasts was equipped with royal armor. It was taller than all the others, and he supposed that the king was upon it. ⁴⁴ So he gave his life to save his people and to win for himself an everlasting name.
