31 Moreover, there were slain twenty thousand five hundred, along with six hundred horsemen.
32 In fact, Timothy fled away to Gazara, to a fortified stronghold, where Chaereas was in charge.
33 Then Maccabeus, and those who were with him, joyfully besieged the stronghold for four days.
34 But those who were inside, trusting to the strength of the place, spoke evil without limit and cast out nefarious words.
35 But when the fifth day began to dawn, twenty youths of those who were with Maccabeus, inflamed in soul because of the blasphemy, manfully approached to the wall, and, advancing with fierce courage, ascended it.
36 Moreover, others also getting up after them, went to set fire to the towers and the gates, and to burn the blasphemers alive.
37 Then, having continued throughout two days to lay waste to the fortress, they killed Timothy, who was found hiding himself in a certain place. And they also killed his brother Chaereas, and Apollophanes.
