2 Maccabees 11:5-7

Wycliffe Bible

⁵ Soothly he went into Judea, and came nigh to Bethsura, that was in a strait place, from Jerusalem in (the) space of five furlongs, and fought against that strength (or that stronghold).

⁶ Soothly when Maccabeus, and they that were with him, knew that (the) strengths (or the strongholds) were impugned, with weeping and tears they prayed the Lord, and all the company together, for to send a good angel to the health (or for the deliverance) of Israel.

⁷ And Maccabeus himself took first armours, (or arms, or weapons), and admonished others to take together peril with him, and bear help to (or for) their brethren.
