2 Maccabees 14:12-14

Wycliffe Bible

¹² Which anon (or at once) sent Nicanor, sovereign of (the) elephants, (as) a duke into Judea,

¹³ with commandments given for to take that Judas quick (or alive), for to scatter soothly them that were with him, and for to ordain Alcimus highest priest of the most (or the great) temple.

¹⁴ Then (the) heathen men, that fled Judas from Judea, flock-meal joined them(selves) to Nicanor, and guessed the wretchednesses and deaths of (the) Jews [or guessing the mis-eases and deaths of Jews] (to be) prosperities of (or for) their things.
