2 Maccabees 10:35-37

New Catholic Bible

³⁵ At daybreak on the fifth day, twenty young men in the army of Maccabeus, infuriated at the blasphemies, bravely stormed the wall and with savage fury, cut down everyone they encountered. ³⁶ Others who came up in a similar way attacked the defenders from the rear and set fire to the towers while starting other fires in which the blasphemers were burned alive. Still others broke down the gates and let in the rest of the troops, who then took possession of the city. ³⁷ Timothy, who had hidden in a cistern, was slain, along with his brother Chaereas, and Apollophanes.
