2 Maccabees 11:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

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].

⁹ Then all together (they) blessed the merciful Lord, and waxed strong in souls (or grew confident); and were ready for to pierce not only men, but and most fierce beasts, and iron walls.
