2 Maccabees 14:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ Therefore when (the) coming of Nicanor was heard, and (the) coming together of (the) nations, (the) Jews besprinkled with earth prayed him, that ordained his people into without end for to keep, and which covereth, or defendeth, his part with open signs.

¹⁶ Forsooth for the duke commanded, anon (or at once) they (re)moved from thence, and came together to the castle Dessau (or to the town of Adasa).

¹⁷ Simon forsooth, brother of Judas, joined battle with Nicanor, but he was all-broken with (the) sudden coming of (the) adversaries.
