1 Maccabees 6:29-31

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁹ And mercenary forces came to him from other kingdoms and from islands of the seas. ³⁰ The number of his forces was a hundred thousand foot soldiers, twenty thousand horsemen, and thirty-two elephants accustomed to war. ³¹ They came through Idume′a and encamped against Beth-zur, and for many days they fought and built engines of war; but the Jews^[a] sallied out and burned these with fire, and fought manfully.
