2 Maccabees 11:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² Gathered together fourscore thousand men, and all the horsemen, and came against the Jews, thinking to take the city, and make it a habitation of the Gentiles:

³ And to make a gain of the temple, as of the other temples of the Gentiles, and to set the high priesthood to sale every year:

⁴ Never considering the power of God, but puffed up in mind, and trusting in the multitude of his foot soldiers, and the thousands of his horsemen, and his fourscore elephants.
