2 Maccabees 3:23-25

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²³ But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being present in the same place with his guard about the treasury.

²⁵ For there appeared to them a horse with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering: and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore feet, and he that sat upon him seemed to have armour of gold.
