1 Maccabees 6:35-37

Wycliffe Bible

³⁵ And they parted the beasts by (or among) (the) legions; and to each elephant a thousand men stood nigh in habergeons chained, or mailed, together, and brazen helmets in (or on) their heads, and five hundred horsemen chosen were ordained to (or for) each beast. [And they parted the beasts by legions; and to each elephant a thousand men stood nigh in mailed together habergeons, and brazen helmets in their heads, and five hundred chosen horsemen were ordained to each beast.]

³⁶ These were there before the time, wherever the beast was; and whither ever it went, they went, and departed not therefrom.

³⁷ But and firm towers of tree (or of wood) were on them, defending by all the beasts, and on them were engines, and on each by themselves men of virtue (or strong men) two and thirty, which fought from above, and within was the master of the beast.
