2 Maccabees 10:21-23

Wycliffe Bible

²¹ Forsooth when that thing that was done, was told to Maccabeus, he gathered the princes of (the) people, and he accused (them), that they had sold (their) brethren for money, for they delivered, [or dismissed], (or had freed) (the) adversaries of them.

²² Therefore he slew these made traitors, and anon (or at once) occupied the two towers.

²³ Forsooth in doing all things welsomely, either by prosperity, in armours, and hands, he slew in the two strengths more than twenty thousands. (And doing everything successfully with his arms, or his weapons, taken in hand, he killed in the two strongholds more than twenty thousand.)
