2 Maccabees 10:36-38

Good News Translation

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.

³⁸ When it was over, the Jews celebrated by singing hymns and songs of thanksgiving to the Lord, who had shown them great kindness and had given them victory.
