1 Maccabees 6:45-47

New Catholic Bible

⁴⁵ He courageously charged toward it through the midst of the phalanx, killing men right and left, so that they fell back on all sides at his approach. ⁴⁶ He got in position under the elephant and stabbed it from below, slaying it. The beast fell to the ground on top of him, and he died there.

⁴⁷ When the Jews saw the strength and ferocity of the royal forces, they retreated before them.
