2 Maccabees 8:22-24

Wycliffe Bible

²² Therefore he ordained his brethren leaders to (or of) each order, Simon, and Joseph, and Jonathan, and made subject to each a thousand and five hundred (men).

²³ Also to this thing, when the holy book was read to them of Ezra, and a token was given of God’s help, he was duke (or the leader) in the first battle array, and joined battle with Nicanor.

²⁴ And for the Almighty was made (the) helper to (or of) them, they slew over nine thousand of men; forsooth they constrained the more part of Nicanor’s host, made feeble by wounds, for to flee.
