1 Maccabees 1:24
And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, having made a great massacre, and spoken very proudly.
1 Maccabees 1:30
And spake peaceable words unto them, but all was deceit: for when they had given him credence, he fell suddenly upon the city, and smote it very sore, and destroyed much people of Israel.
1 Maccabees 1:31
And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on fire, and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side.
1 Maccabees 1:50
And whosoever would not do according to the commandment of the king, he said, he should die.
1 Maccabees 1:51
In the selfsame manner wrote he to his whole kingdom, and appointed overseers over all the people, commanding the cities of Juda to sacrifice, city by city.
1 Maccabees 2:2
And he had five sons, Joannan, called Caddis:
1 Maccabees 2:6
And when he saw the blasphemies that were committed in Juda and Jerusalem,
1 Maccabees 2:7
He said, Woe is me! wherefore was I born to see this misery of my people, and of the holy city, and to dwell there, when it was delivered into the hand of the enemy, and the sanctuary into the hand of strangers?
1 Maccabees 2:23
Now when he had left speaking these words, there came one of the Jews in the sight of all to sacrifice on the altar which was at Modin, according to the king's commandment.
1 Maccabees 2:24
Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was inflamed with zeal, and his reins trembled, neither could he forbear to shew his anger according to judgment: wherefore he ran, and slew him upon the altar.
1 Maccabees 2:25
Also the king's commissioner, who compelled men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, and the altar he pulled down.
1 Maccabees 2:26
Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God like as Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom.
1 Maccabees 2:28
So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that ever they had in the city.
1 Maccabees 2:49
Now when the time drew near that Mattathias should die, he said unto his sons, Now hath pride and rebuke gotten strength, and the time of destruction, and the wrath of indignation:
1 Maccabees 2:63
To day he shall be lifted up and to morrow he shall not be found, because he is returned into his dust, and his thought is come to nothing.
1 Maccabees 2:65
And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel, give ear unto him alway: he shall be a father unto you.
1 Maccabees 2:66
As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, even from his youth up: let him be your captain, and fight the battle of the people.
1 Maccabees 2:69
So he blessed them, and was gathered to his fathers.
1 Maccabees 2:70
And he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, and all Israel made great lamentation for him.
1 Maccabees 3:3
So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword.
1 Maccabees 3:4
In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.
1 Maccabees 3:5
For He pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people.
1 Maccabees 3:7
He grieved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever.
1 Maccabees 3:8
Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:
1 Maccabees 3:9
So that he was renowned unto the utmost part of the earth, and he received unto him such as were ready to perish.
1 Maccabees 3:11
Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.
1 Maccabees 3:12
Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius' sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.
1 Maccabees 3:14
He said, I will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, who despise the king's commandment.
1 Maccabees 3:15
So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.
1 Maccabees 3:16
And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:
1 Maccabees 3:23
Now as soon as he had left off speaking, he leapt suddenly upon them, and so Seron and his host was overthrown before him.
1 Maccabees 3:27
Now when king Antiochus heard these things, he was full of indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army.
1 Maccabees 3:28
He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need them.
1 Maccabees 3:29
Nevertheless, when he saw that the money of his treasures failed and that the tributes in the country were small, because of the dissension and plague, which he had brought upon the land in taking away the laws which had been of old time;
1 Maccabees 3:30
He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him.
1 Maccabees 3:31
Wherefore, being greatly perplexed in his mind, he determined to go into Persia, there to take the tributes of the countries, and to gather much money.
1 Maccabees 3:32
So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of the blood royal, to oversee the affairs of the king from the river Euphrates unto the borders of Egypt:
1 Maccabees 3:33
And to bring up his son Antiochus, until he came again.
1 Maccabees 3:34
Moreover he delivered unto him the half of his forces, and the elephants, and gave him charge of all things that he would have done, as also concerning them that dwelt in Juda and Jerusalem:
1 Maccabees 3:35
To wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from that place;
1 Maccabees 3:36
And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot.
1 Maccabees 3:37
So the king took the half of the forces that remained, and departed from Antioch, his royal city, the hundred forty and seventh year; and having passed the river Euphrates, he went through the high countries.
1 Maccabees 3:39
And with them he sent forty thousand footmen, and seven thousand horsemen, to go into the land of Juda, and to destroy it, as the king commanded.
1 Maccabees 3:56
But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law.
1 Maccabees 4:2
To the end he might rush in upon the camp of the Jews, and smite them suddenly. And the men of the fortress were his guides.
1 Maccabees 4:3
Now when Judas heard thereof he himself removed, and the valiant men with him, that he might smite the king's army which was at Emmaus,
1 Maccabees 4:5
In the mean season came Gorgias by night into the camp of Judas: and when he found no man there, he sought them in the mountains: for said he, These fellows flee from us
1 Maccabees 4:27
Who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him were come to pass.
1 Maccabees 4:28
The next year therefore following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.
1 Maccabees 4:30
And when he saw that mighty army, he prayed and said, Blessed art thou, O Saviour of Israel, who didst quell the violence of the mighty man by the hand of thy servant David, and gavest the host of strangers into the hands of Jonathan the son of Saul, and his armourbearer;
1 Maccabees 4:35
Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it was, he purposed to come again into Judea.
1 Maccabees 4:41
Then Judas appointed certain men to fight against those that were in the fortress, until he had cleansed the sanctuary.
1 Maccabees 4:42
So he chose priests of blameless conversation, such as had pleasure in the law:
1 Maccabees 5:3
Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea at Arabattine, because they besieged Gael: and he gave them a great overthrow, and abated their courage, and took their spoils.
1 Maccabees 5:4
Also he remembered the injury of the children of Bean, who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that they lay in wait for them in the ways.
1 Maccabees 5:5
He shut them up therefore in the towers, and encamped against them, and destroyed them utterly, and burned the towers of that place with fire, and all that were therein.
1 Maccabees 5:6
Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus their captain.
1 Maccabees 5:7
So he fought many battles with them, till at length they were discomfited before him; and he smote them.
1 Maccabees 5:8
And when he had taken Jazar, with the towns belonging thereto, he returned into Judea.
1 Maccabees 5:18
So he left Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the people, with the remnant of the host in Judea to keep it.
1 Maccabees 5:19
Unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Take ye the charge of this people, and see that ye make not war against the heathen until the time that we come again.
1 Maccabees 5:21
Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought many battles with the heathen, so that the heathen were discomfited by him.
1 Maccabees 5:22
And he pursued them unto the gate of Ptolemais; and there were slain of the heathen about three thousand men, whose spoils he took.
1 Maccabees 5:23
And those that were in Galilee, and in Arbattis, with their wives and their children, and all that they had, took he away with him, and brought them into Judea with great joy.
1 Maccabees 5:28
Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire,
1 Maccabees 5:29
From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress.
1 Maccabees 5:32
He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.
1 Maccabees 5:33
So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer.
1 Maccabees 5:34
Then the host of Timotheus, knowing that it was Maccabeus, fled from him: wherefore he smote them with a great slaughter; so that there were killed of them that day about eight thousand men.
1 Maccabees 5:35
This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha; and after he had assaulted it he took and slew all the males therein, and received the spoils thereof and and burnt it with fire.
1 Maccabees 5:36
From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad.
1 Maccabees 5:39
He hath also hired the Arabians to help them and they have pitched their tents beyond the brook, ready to come and fight against thee. Upon this Judas went to meet them.
1 Maccabees 5:40
Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, When Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him; for he will mightily prevail against us:
1 Maccabees 5:41
But if he be afraid, and camp beyond the river, we shall go over unto him, and prevail against him.
1 Maccabees 5:42
Now when Judas came near the brook, he caused the scribes of the people to remain by the brook: unto whom he gave commandment, saying, Suffer no man to remain in the camp, but let all come to the battle.
1 Maccabees 5:43
So he went first over unto them, and all the people after him: then all the heathen, being discomfited before him, cast away their weapons, and fled unto the temple that was at Carnaim.
1 Maccabees 5:49
Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be made throughout the host, that every man should pitch his tent in the place where he was.
1 Maccabees 5:65
Afterward went Judas forth with his brethren, and fought against the children of Esau in the land toward the south, where he smote Hebron, and the towns thereof, and pulled down the fortress of it, and burned the towers thereof round about.
1 Maccabees 5:66
From thence he removed to go into the land of the Philistines, and passed through Samaria.
1 Maccabees 5:68
So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philistines, and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned their carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he returned into the land of Judea.
1 Maccabees 6:3
Wherefore he came and sought to take the city, and to spoil it; but he was not able, because they of the city, having had warning thereof,
1 Maccabees 6:4
Rose up against him in battle: so he fled, and departed thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babylon.
1 Maccabees 6:7
Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.
1 Maccabees 6:8
Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.
1 Maccabees 6:9
And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die.
1 Maccabees 6:10
Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.
1 Maccabees 6:14
Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm,
1 Maccabees 6:15
And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish him up for the kingdom.
1 Maccabees 6:17
Now when Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his stead, and his name he called Eupator.
1 Maccabees 6:20
So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and other engines.
1 Maccabees 6:23
We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he would have us, and to obey his commandments;
1 Maccabees 6:28
Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.
