2 Maccabees 10:31

²⁹But when the battle waxed strong, there appeared unto the enemies from heaven five comely men upon horses, with bridles of gold, and two of them led the Jews,

³⁰and took Maccabeus between them, and covered him on every side with their weapons, and kept him safe, but shot arrows and lightnings against the enemies: so that being confounded with blindness, and full of trouble, they were killed.

— 2 Maccabees 10:31 —

³²As for Timothy himself, he fled into a very strong hold, called Gazara, where Chaereas was governor.

³³But they that were with Maccabeus laid siege against the fortress courageously four days.
