1 Maccabees 6:36-38
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
36 These took their position beforehand wherever the beast was; wherever it went they went with it, and they never left it. 37 And upon the elephants[a] were wooden towers, strong and covered; they were fastened upon each beast by special harness, and upon each were four[b] armed men who fought from there, and also its Indian driver. 38 The rest of the horsemen were stationed on either side, on the two flanks of the army, to harass the enemy while being themselves protected by the phalanxes.
