2 Maccabees 10:35-37

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁵ But when the fifth day appeared, twenty young men of them that were with Machabeus, inflamed in their minds because of the blasphemy, approached manfully to the wall, and pushing forward with fierce courage got up upon it.

³⁶ Moreover others also getting up after them, went to set fire to the towers and the gates, and to burn the blasphemers alive.

³⁷ And having for two days together pillaged and sacked the fortress, they killed Timotheus, who was found hid in a certain place: they slew also his brother Chereas, and Apollophanes.
