2 Maccabees 10:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ Forsooth (the) Jews that held covenable strengths (or suitable strongholds), received men driven from Jerusalem, and assayed, either attempted, for to fight.

¹⁶ These forsooth that were with Maccabeus, prayed the Lord by prayers, that he should be (a) helper to them, and they made (an) assault into (the) strengths of (the) Idumeans (or upon the strongholds of the Edomites).

¹⁷ And they were busy by much strength, and wielded places, and slew men running again, and strangled all together, not less than five and twenty thousands. [And they by much strength against-standing, wielded places, slew men running again, and strangled all together, not less than five and twenty thousands.]
