2 Maccabees 14:44

44 But they quickly drawing back and a space being made, he fell down into the midst of the void place.

2 Maccabees 14:44 In-Context

42 choosing rather to die manfully than to come into the hands of the wicked to be abused otherwise than befitted his noble birth.
43 But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall and cast himself down manfully among the thickest of them.
44 But they quickly drawing back and a space being made, he fell down into the midst of the void place.
45 Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up; and though his blood gushed out like spouts of water and his wounds were grievous, yet he ran through the midst of the throng. And standing upon a steep rock,
46 as his blood was now quite gone, he plucked out his bowels and, taking them in both his hands, he cast them upon the throng; and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore him those again, Razis thus died.
