2 Maccabees 10:32LXX

30Two of whom took Machabeus between them, and covered him on every side with their arms, and kept him safe: but cast darts and fireballs against the enemy, so that they fell down, being both confounded with blindness, and filled with trouble.

31And there were slain twenty thousand five hundred, and six hundred horsemen.

32But Timotheus fled into Gazara a strong hold, where Chereas was governor.

33Then Machabeus, and they that were with him, cheerfully laid siege to the fortress four days.

34But they that were within, trusting to the strength of the place, blasphemed exceedingly, and cast forth abominable words.
