2 Maccabees 11:6-8

Wycliffe Bible

⁶ Soothly when Maccabeus, and they that were with him, knew that (the) strengths (or the strongholds) were impugned, with weeping and tears they prayed the Lord, and all the company together, for to send a good angel to the health (or for the deliverance) of Israel.

⁷ And Maccabeus himself took first armours, (or arms, or weapons), and admonished others to take together peril with him, and bear help to (or for) their brethren.

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].
