1 Maccabees 6:37 Context
34And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries. 35Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best. 36These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him. 37And upon the beasts were there strong towers of wood, which covered every one of them, and were girt fast unto them with devices: there were also upon every one two and thirty strong men, that fought upon them, beside the Indian that ruled him. 38As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks. 39Now when the sun shone upon the shields of gold and brass, the mountains glistered therewith, and shined like lamps of fire. 40So part of the king's army being spread upon the high mountains, and part on the valleys below, they marched on safely and in order.
