2 Maccabees 10:32 In-Context

30 Two of them took Maccabeus between them, and shielding him with their own armor and weapons, they kept him from being wounded. They showered arrows and thunderbolts on the enemy, so that, confused and blinded, they were thrown into disorder and cut to pieces.

31 Twenty thousand five hundred were slaughtered, besides six hundred cavalry.

32 Timothy himself fled to a stronghold called Gazara, especially well garrisoned, where Chaereas was commander.

33 Then Maccabeus and his men were glad, and they besieged the fort for four days.

34 The men within, relying on the strength of the place, kept blaspheming terribly and uttering wicked words.
