2 Maccabees 5:3-5

Wycliffe Bible

³ and courses of horses wisely set by orders, and assailings, or fightings together, for to be made nigh, and movings of shields, and multitude of helmeted men, with (unre)strained swords, and castings of darts, and shining of golden armours, and of all kind of habergeons (or breastplates).

⁴ Wherefore all men prayed, that the monsters, or wonders, tokens of things to coming, be converted [or be (al)together turned] into good.

⁵ But when false tiding [or false rumour] went out, as if Antiochus had gone out of life, Jason suddenly assailed the city, with men taken not less than a thousand [or (with) a thousand men taken to (there), not less]; and when (the) citizens fled to the wall together, and at the last the city was taken, Menelaus fled into the high tower.
