2 Maccabees 3:27

27 And Heliodorus fell suddenly onto the ground, and was encompassed by great darkness; but those who were with him took him up and put him onto a litter.

2 Maccabees 3:27 In-Context

25 For there appeared unto them a horse with a terrible rider upon him and adorned with a very fair covering; and he ran fiercely and smote at Heliodorus with his forefeet. And it seemed that he that sat upon the horse had complete armor of gold.

26 Moreover, two other young men appeared before him, notable in strength, excellent in beauty, and comely in apparel, who stood by him on either side, and scourged him continually and gave him many sore stripes.

27 And Heliodorus fell suddenly onto the ground, and was encompassed by great darkness; but those who were with him took him up and put him onto a litter.

28 Thus he, that lately came with a great train and with all his guard into the said treasury, was carried out, being unable to help himself with his weapons. And they manifestly acknowledged the power of God.

29 For he by the hand of God was cast down, and lay speechless without all hope of life.
