Bible Question:
I have read the Bible four and a half times including the Apocryphia. I distinctly remember a story about a conquest a particular king was on. One of the things he was up against in this particular battle was various herds that the aposing king had in possession. One of this kings hers included an elephane or various elephants. I remember because as the story went the challenging king was under one of the elephants and stood his sword up with the handle on the ground whereas as the elephant tryed to lie on him to destroy him the elephant ended up stabbing himself. My question is this...does anybody else remember the same or am I totally losing it??? I have searched various concordances and almost every Bible type written in english on the internet but to no avail. If anybody could help I would greatly appreciate. Thank you for your patience and understanding, Curious_chris |
Bible Answer: Greetings Curious_Chris! This story is found in 1 Mac. 6:40-47 *************************** So 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. 41 Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty. 42 Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king’s army six hundred men. 43 Eleazar also, surnamed Savaran, perceiving that one of the beasts, armed with royal harness, was higher than all the rest, and supposing that the king was upon him, 44 Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name: 45 Wherefore he ran upon him courageously through the midst of the battle, slaying on the right hand and on the left, so that they were divided from him on both sides. 46 Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there he died. 47 Howbeit the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them. *********************************** I hope this helps!
