1 Maccabees 6:37-39
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
37 And upon the elephants[a] were wooden towers, strong and covered; they were fastened upon each beast by special harness, and upon each were four[b] armed men who fought from there, and also its Indian driver. 38 The rest of the horsemen 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 upon the shields of gold and brass, the hills were ablaze with them and gleamed like flaming torches.
