2 Maccabees 14:41-43

Wycliffe Bible

⁴¹ Forsooth when (the) companies coveted for to fall into his house, and for to break the gate, and for to move to fire, when now he was taken, that is, was nigh the taking, he assailed himself with (a) sword;

⁴² choosing to die nobly, rather than to be made subject to sinners, and against his birth for to be led with unworthy wrongs.

⁴³ But when by hast(en)ing he had given wound with uncertain stroke, and (the) companies betwixt (the) doors burst in, he ran again hardily to the wall, and casted down himself manly into the companies. [But when by hasting with uncertain stroke he had given wound, and companies betwixt doors burst in, he running again hardily to the wall, casted down himself manly into the companies.]
