2 Maccabees 10:35-37

Good News Translation

³⁵ At dawn on the fifth day, twenty of Judas' men, burning with anger at these insults, bravely climbed the wall and with savage fury chopped down everyone they met. ³⁶ At the same time, others climbed the walls on the other side of the fort and set the towers on fire. Many of the enemy were burned to death as the flames spread. A third force broke down the gates and let in the rest of Judas' men to capture the city. ³⁷ Timothy had hidden in a cistern, but they killed him, as well as his brother Chaereas and Apollophanes.
