2 Maccabees 11:8-10

Wycliffe Bible

⁸ And when they went forth together with ready will from Jerusalem, an horseman, that is, an angel in the likeness of an horseman, or knight, appeared going before them in white cloth(es), in golden armours, and flourishing a shaft [or and golden armours, flourishing a shaft].

⁹ Then all together (they) blessed the merciful Lord, and waxed strong in souls (or grew confident); and were ready for to pierce not only men, but and most fierce beasts, and iron walls.

¹⁰ Therefore they went ready, having an helper of (or from) heaven, and the Lord having mercy on them.
