2 Maccabees 12:15-17

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁵ But Machabeus calling upon the great Lord of the world, who without any rams or engines of war threw down the walls of Jericho in the time of Josue, fiercely assaulted the walls.

¹⁶ And having taken the city by the will of the Lord, he made an unspeakable slaughter, so that a pool adjoining of two furlongs broad seemed to run with the blood of the slain.

¹⁷ From thence they departed seven hundred and fifty furlongs, and came to Characa to the Jews that are called Tubianites.
