1 Maccabees 6:43-45

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴³ And Eleazar the son of Saura saw one of the beasts harnessed with the king's harness: and it was higher than the other beasts: and it seemed to him that the king was on it:

⁴⁴ And he exposed himself to deliver his people and to get himself an everlasting name.

⁴⁵ And he ran up to it boldly in the midst of the legion, killing on the right hand, and on the left, and they fell by him on this side and that side.
