1 Maccabees 6:37-39
New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
37 On the elephants[a] were wooden towers, strong and covered; they were fastened on each animal by special harness, and on each were four[b] armed men who fought from there, and also its Indian driver. 38 The rest of the cavalry were stationed on either side, on the two flanks of the army, to harass the enemy while being themselves protected by the phalanxes. 39 When the sun shone on the shields of gold and brass, the hills were ablaze with them and gleamed like flaming torches.
