Judah Maccabeus
A small skirmish is said to have happened and afterward met with their General and declared war
There are eight Eleazars mentioned in the Bible. None of which 'attacked an elephant'.However, between the years 168BC and 40BC, the Bible is silent regarding Jewish history. It was during this time that the Maccabees took the lead in Jewish activities in Palestine. Mattathias, a Levite priest, had five sons, one of whom was an Eleazar. Another, Judas Maccabeus, took the lead in the warfare against the Syrians and apostate Jews. In one battle, a political leader, Lysias, sent support to the Syrians including 32 elephants, one of which crushed Eleazar, Judas Maccabeus' brother.This may be what you're thinking of, but it's not believed to be part of the inspired scriptures.
