2 Maccabees 10:32-34

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³² Timothy himself fled to a stronghold called Gazar′a, especially well garrisoned, where Chae′reas was commander. ³³ Then Maccabe′us and his men were glad, and they besieged the fort for four days. ³⁴ The men within, relying on the strength of the place, blasphemed terribly and hurled out wicked words.
