Yea, many also of the Israelites consented to his religion, and sacrificed unto idols, and profaned the sabbath.

1 Maccabees 2:14
Then Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore.

1 Maccabees 2:16
And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias also and his sons came together.

1 Maccabees 2:19
Then Mattathias answered and spake with a loud voice, Though all the nations that are under the king's dominion obey him, and fall away every one from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments:

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 2:28
So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that ever they had in the city.

1 Maccabees 2:39
Now when Mattathias and his friends understood hereof, they mourned for them right sore.

1 Maccabees 2:45
Then Mattathias and his friends went round about, and pulled down the altars:

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 2:66
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 3:1
Then his son Judas, called Maccabeus, rose up in his stead.

1 Maccabees 3:2
And all his brethren helped him, and so did all they that held with his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.

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 3:6
Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.

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 3:12
Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius' sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.

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 3:25
Then began the fear of Judas and his brethren, and an exceeding great dread, to fall upon the nations round about them:

1 Maccabees 3:26
Insomuch as his fame came unto the king, and all nations talked of the battles of Judas.

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 3:31
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 3:33
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 3:37
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 3:42
Now when Judas and his brethren saw that miseries were multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their borders: for they knew how the king had given commandment to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them;

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 4:16
This done, Judas returned again with his host from pursuing them,

1 Maccabees 4:18
And Gorgias and his host are here by us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye may boldly take the spoils.

1 Maccabees 4:24
After this they went home, and sung a song of thanksgiving, and praised the Lord in heaven: because it is good, because his mercy endureth forever.

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 4:36
Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are discomfited: let us go up to cleanse and dedicate the sanctuary.

1 Maccabees 4:59
Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.

1 Maccabees 5:10
And sent letters unto Judas and his brethren, The heathen that are round about us are assembled together against us to destroy us:

1 Maccabees 5:17
Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee out men, and go and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the country of Galaad.

1 Maccabees 5:24
Judas Maccabeus also and his brother Jonathan went over Jordan, and travelled three days' journey in the wilderness,

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 5:32
He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.

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 5:49
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 5:50
So the soldiers pitched, and assaulted the city all that day and all that night, till at the length the city was delivered into his hands:

1 Maccabees 5:55
Now what time as Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Galaad, and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,

1 Maccabees 5:59
Then came Gorgias and his men out of the city to fight against them.

1 Maccabees 5:61
Thus was there a great overthrow among the children of Israel, because they were not obedient unto Judas and his brethren, but thought to do some valiant act.

1 Maccabees 5:63
Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly renowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, wheresoever their name was heard of;

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 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 6:23
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.

1 Maccabees 6:30
So that the number of his army was an hundred thousand footmen, and twenty thousand horsemen, and two and thirty elephants exercised in battle.

1 Maccabees 6:33
Then the king rising very early marched fiercely with his host toward Bathzacharias, where his armies made them ready to battle, and sounded the trumpets.

1 Maccabees 6:42
Then Judas and his host drew near, and entered into battle, and there were slain of the king's army six hundred men.

1 Maccabees 6:44
Put himself in jeopardy, to the end he might deliver his people, and get him a perpetual name:

1 Maccabees 6:47
Howbeit the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them.

1 Maccabees 6:48
Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against mount Sion.

1 Maccabees 6:54
There were but a few left in the sanctuary, because the famine did so prevail against them, that they were fain to disperse themselves, every man to his own place.

1 Maccabees 6:55
At that time Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom Antiochus the king, whiles he lived, had appointed to bring up his son Antiochus, that he might be king,

1 Maccabees 6:62
Then the king entered into mount Sion; but when he saw the strength of the place, he broke his oath that he had made, and gave commandment to pull down the wall round about.

1 Maccabees 7:2
And as he entered into the palace of his ancestors, so it was, that his forces had taken Antiochus and Lysias, to bring them unto him.

1 Maccabees 7:4
So his host slew them. Now when Demetrius was set upon the throne of his kingdom,

1 Maccabees 7:6
And they accused the people to the king, saying, Judas and his brethren have slain all thy friends, and driven us out of our own land.

1 Maccabees 7:10
So they departed, and came with a great power into the land of Judea, where they sent messengers to Judas and his brethren with peaceable words deceitfully.

1 Maccabees 7:19
After this, removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit.

1 Maccabees 7:23
Now when Judas saw all the mischief that Alcimus and his company had done among the Israelites, even above the heathen,

1 Maccabees 7:25
On the other side, when Alcimus saw that Judas and his company had gotten the upper hand, and knew that he was not able to abide their force, he went again to the king, and said all the worst of them that he could.

1 Maccabees 7:26
Then the king sent Nicanor, one of his honourable princes, a man that bare deadly hate unto Israel, with commandment to destroy the people.

1 Maccabees 7:27
So Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great force; and sent unto Judas and his brethren deceitfully with friendly words, saying,

1 Maccabees 7:30
Which thing after it was known to Judas, to wit, that he came unto him with deceit, he was sore afraid of him, and would see his face no more.

1 Maccabees 7:31
Nicanor also, when he saw that his counsel was discovered, went out to fight against Judas beside Capharsalama:

1 Maccabees 7:35
And sware in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his host be now delivered into my hands, if ever I come again in safety, I will burn up this house: and with that he went out in a great rage.

1 Maccabees 7:38
Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer.

1 Maccabees 7:39
So Nicanor went out of Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bethhoron, where an host out of Syria met him.

1 Maccabees 7:42
Even so destroy thou this host before us this day, that the rest may know that he hath spoken blasphemously against thy sanctuary, and judge thou him according to his wickedness.

1 Maccabees 7:47
Afterwards they took the spoils, and the prey, and smote off Nicanors head, and his right hand, which he stretched out so proudly, and brought them away, and hanged them up toward Jerusalem.

1 Maccabees 8:20
Judas Maccabeus with his brethren, and the people of the Jews, have sent us unto you, to make a confederacy and peace with you, and that we might be registered your confederates and friends.

1 Maccabees 9:1
Furthermore, when Demetrius heard the Nicanor and his host were slain in battle, he sent Bacchides and Alcimus into the land of Judea the second time, and with them the chief strength of his host:

1 Maccabees 9:5
Now Judas had pitched his tents at Eleasa, and three thousand chosen men with him:

1 Maccabees 9:7
When Judas therefore saw that his host slipt away, and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them together.

1 Maccabees 9:14
Now when Judas perceived that Bacchides and the strength of his army were on the right side, he took with him all the hardy men,

1 Maccabees 9:19
Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin.

1 Maccabees 9:22
As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not written: for they were very many.

1 Maccabees 9:30
Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles.

1 Maccabees 9:31
Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.

1 Maccabees 9:33
Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the pool Asphar.

1 Maccabees 9:34
Which when Bacchides understood, he came near to Jordan with all his host upon the sabbath day.

1 Maccabees 9:35
Now Jonathan had sent his brother John, a captain of the people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, that they might leave with them their carriage, which was much.

1 Maccabees 9:37
After this came word to Jonathan and Simon his brother, that the children of Jambri made a great marriage, and were bringing the bride from Nadabatha with a great train, as being the daughter of one of the great princes of Chanaan.

1 Maccabees 9:39
Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, there was much ado and great carriage: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to meet them with drums, and instruments of musick, and many weapons.

1 Maccabees 9:44
Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now and fight for our lives, for it standeth not with us to day, as in time past:

1 Maccabees 9:47
With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched forth his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him.

1 Maccabees 9:55
And as he began to pull down, even at that time was Alcimus plagued, and his enterprizes hindered: for his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak any thing, nor give order concerning his house.

1 Maccabees 9:58
Then all the ungodly men held a council, saying, Behold, Jonathan and his company are at ease, and dwell without care: now therefore we will bring Bacchides hither, who shall take them all in one night.

1 Maccabees 9:60
Then removed he, and came with a great host, and sent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they should take Jonathan and those that were with him: howbeit they could not, because their counsel was known unto them.

1 Maccabees 9:63
Which thing when Bacchides knew, he gathered together all his host, and sent word to them that were of Judea.

1 Maccabees 9:65
But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the city, and went forth himself into the country, and with a certain number went he forth.

1 Maccabees 9:66
And he smote Odonarkes and his brethren, and the children of Phasiron in their tent.

1 Maccabees 9:67
And when he began to smite them, and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burned up the engines of war,

1 Maccabees 9:68
And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore: for his counsel and travail was in vain.

1 Maccabees 9:69
Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gave him counsel to come into the country, inasmuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to return into his own country.

1 Maccabees 9:71
Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, and sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life.

1 Maccabees 9:72
When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own land, neither came he any more into their borders.

1 Maccabees 10:5
Else he will remember all the evils that we have done against him, and against his brethren and his people.

1 Maccabees 10:13
Insomuch as every man left his place, and went into his own country.

1 Maccabees 10:15
Now when king Alexander had heard what promises Demetrius had sent unto Jonathan: when also it was told him of the battles and noble acts which he and his brethren had done, and of the pains that they had endured,

1 Maccabees 10:18
King Alexander to his brother Jonathan sendeth greeting:

1 Maccabees 10:53
For after I had joined battle with him, both he and his host was discomfited by us, so that we sit in the throne of his kingdom:

1 Maccabees 10:57
So Ptolemee went out of Egypt with his daughter Cleopatra, and they came unto Ptolemais in the hundred threescore and second year:

1 Maccabees 10:58
Where king Alexander meeting him, he gave unto him his daughter Cleopatra, and celebrated her marriage at Ptolemais with great glory, as the manner of kings is.

1 Maccabees 10:62
Yea more than that, the king commanded to take off his garments, and clothe him in purple: and they did so.

1 Maccabees 10:63
And he made him sit by himself, and said into his princes, Go with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.

1 Maccabees 10:64
Now when his accusers saw that he was honored according to the proclamation, and clothed in purple, they fled all away.

1 Maccabees 10:65
So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his chief friends, and made him a duke, and partaker of his dominion.

1 Maccabees 10:67
Furthermore in the; hundred threescore and fifth year came Demetrius son of Demetrius out of Crete into the land of his fathers:

1 Maccabees 10:69
Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celosyria his general, who gathered together a great host, and camped in Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying,

1 Maccabees 10:74
So when Jonathan heard these words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind, and choosing ten thousand men he went out of Jerusalem, where Simon his brother met him for to help him.

1 Maccabees 10:75
And he pitched his tents against Joppa: but; they of Joppa shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a garrison there.

1 Maccabees 10:77
Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to Azotus as one that journeyed, and therewithal drew him forth into the plain. because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put his trust.

1 Maccabees 10:80
And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment behind him; for they had compassed in his host, and cast darts at the people, from morning till evening.

1 Maccabees 10:82
Then brought Simon forth his host, and set them against the footmen, (for the horsemen were spent) who were discomfited by him, and fled.

1 Maccabees 10:86
And from thence Jonathan removed his host, and camped against Ascalon, where the men of the city came forth, and met him with great pomp.

1 Maccabees 10:87
After this returned Jonathan and his host unto Jerusalem, having any spoils.

1 Maccabees 11:1
And the king of Egypt gathered together a great host, like the sand that lieth upon the sea shore, and many ships, and went about through deceit to get Alexander's kingdom, and join it to his own.

1 Maccabees 11:2
Whereupon he took his journey into Spain in peaceable manner, so as they of the cities opened unto him, and met him: for king Alexander had commanded them so to do, because he was his brother in law.

1 Maccabees 11:5
Also they told the king whatsoever Jonathan had done, to the intent he might blame him: but the king held his peace.

1 Maccabees 11:11
Thus did he slander him, because he was desirous of his kingdom.

1 Maccabees 11:12
Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave her to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their hatred was openly known.

1 Maccabees 11:13
Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, where he set two crowns upon his head, the crown of Asia, and of Egypt.

1 Maccabees 11:15
But when Alexander heard of this, he came to war against him: whereupon king Ptolemee brought forth his host, and met him with a mighty power, and put him to flight.

1 Maccabees 11:24
And took silver and gold, and raiment, and divers presents besides, and went to Ptolemais unto the king, where he found favour in his sight.

1 Maccabees 11:26
Yet the king entreated him as his predecessors had done before, and promoted him in the sight of all his friends,

1 Maccabees 11:27
And confirmed him in the high priesthood, and in all the honours that he had before, and gave him preeminence among his chief friends.

1 Maccabees 11:30
King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting:

1 Maccabees 11:32
King Demetrius unto his father Lasthenes sendeth greeting:

1 Maccabees 11:38
After this, when king Demetrius saw that the land was quiet before him, and that no resistance was made against him, he sent away all his forces, every one to his own place, except certain bands of strangers, whom he had gathered from the isles of the heathen: wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated him.

1 Maccabees 11:40
And lay sore upon him to deliver him this young Antiochus, that he might reign in his father's stead: he told him therefore all that Demetrius had done, and how his men of war were at enmity with him, and there he remained a long season.

1 Maccabees 11:51
With that they cast away their weapons, and made peace; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm; and they returned to Jerusalem, having great spoils.

1 Maccabees 11:52
So king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.

1 Maccabees 11:55
Then there gathered unto him all the men of war, whom Demetrius had put away, and they fought against Demetrius, who turned his back and fled.

1 Maccabees 11:59
His brother Simon also he made captain from the place called The ladder of Tyrus unto the borders of Egypt.

1 Maccabees 11:64
He went to meet them, and left Simon his brother in the country.

1 Maccabees 11:67
As for Jonathan and his host, they pitched at the water of Gennesar, from whence betimes in the morning they gat them to the plain of Nasor.

1 Maccabees 11:71
Then Jonathan rent his clothes, and cast earth upon his head, and prayed.

1 Maccabees 11:73
Now when his own men that were fled saw this, they turned again unto him, and with him pursued them to Cades, even unto their own tents, and there they camped.

1 Maccabees 12:25
He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amathis: for he gave them no respite to enter his country.

1 Maccabees 12:27
Wherefore so soon as the sun was down, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be in arms, that all the night long they might be ready to fight: also he sent forth centinels round about the host.

1 Maccabees 12:28
But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their hearts, and they kindled fires in their camp.

1 Maccabees 12:29
Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.

1 Maccabees 12:39
Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdom of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon his own head.

1 Maccabees 12:42
Now when Tryphon saw Jonathan came with so great a force, he durst not stretch his hand against him;

1 Maccabees 12:43
But received him honourably, and commended him unto all his friends, and gave him gifts, and commanded his men of war to be as obedient unto him, as to himself.

1 Maccabees 12:46
So Jonathan believing him did as he bade him, and sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea.

1 Maccabees 13:13
But Simon pitched his tents at Adida, over against the plain.

1 Maccabees 13:14
Now when Tryphon knew that Simon was risen up instead of his brother Jonathan, and meant to join battle with him, he sent messengers unto him, saying,

1 Maccabees 13:16
Wherefore now send an hundred talents of silver, and two of his sons for hostages, that when he is at liberty he may not revolt from us, and we will let him go.

1 Maccabees 13:20
And after this came Tryphon to invade the land, and destroy it, going round about by the way that leadeth unto Adora: but Simon and his host marched against him in every place, wheresoever he went.

1 Maccabees 13:21
Now they that were in the tower sent messengers unto Tryphon, to the end that he should hasten his coming unto them by the wilderness, and send them victuals.

1 Maccabees 13:22
Wherefore Tryphon made ready all his horsemen to come that night: but there fell a very great snow, by reason whereof he came not. So he departed, and came into the country of Galaad.

1 Maccabees 13:24
Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land.

1 Maccabees 13:25
Then sent Simon, and took the bones of Jonathan his brother, and buried them in Modin, the city of his fathers.

1 Maccabees 13:27
Simon also built a monument upon the sepulchre of his father and his brethren, and raised it aloft to the sight, with hewn stone behind and before.

1 Maccabees 13:28
Moreover he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren.

1 Maccabees 13:32
And he reigned in his stead, and crowned himself king of Asia, and brought a great calamity upon the land.

1 Maccabees 13:52
He ordained also that that day should be kept every year with gladness. Moreover the hill of the temple that was by the tower he made stronger than it was, and there he dwelt himself with his company.

1 Maccabees 13:53
And when Simon saw that John his son was a valiant man, he made him captain of all the hosts; and he dwelt in Gazera.

1 Maccabees 14:1
Now in the hundred threescore and twelfth year king Demetrius gathered his forces together, and went into Media to get him help to fight against Tryphone.

1 Maccabees 14:2
But when Arsaces, the king of Persia and Media, heard that Demetrius was entered within his borders, he sent one of his princes to take him alive:

1 Maccabees 14:4
As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of Simon; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as that evermore his authority and honour pleased them well.

1 Maccabees 14:5
And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he took Joppa for an haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea,

1 Maccabees 14:6
And enlarged the bounds of his nation, and recovered the country,

1 Maccabees 14:10
He provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all manner of munition, so that his honourable name was renowned unto the end of the world.

1 Maccabees 14:12
For every man sat under his vine and his fig tree, and there was none to fray them:

1 Maccabees 14:14
Moreover he strengthened all those of his people that were brought low: the law he searched out; and every contemner of the law and wicked person he took away.

1 Maccabees 14:17
But as soon as they heard that his brother Simon was made high priest in his stead, and ruled the country, and the cities therein:

1 Maccabees 14:18
They wrote unto him in tables of brass, to renew the friendship and league which they had made with Judas and Jonathan his brethren:

1 Maccabees 14:25
Whereof when the people heard, they said, What thanks shall we give to Simon and his sons?

1 Maccabees 14:26
For he and his brethren and the house of his father have established Israel, and chased away in fight their enemies from them, and confirmed their liberty.

1 Maccabees 14:29
Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the country, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and the law, Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, together with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and resisting the enemies of their nation did their nation great honour:

1 Maccabees 14:30
(For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation together, and been their high priest, was added to his people,

1 Maccabees 14:32
At which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, and spent much of his own substance, and armed the valiant men of his nation and gave them wages,

1 Maccabees 14:35
The people therefore sang the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people.

1 Maccabees 14:36
For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanctuary, and did much hurt in the holy place:

1 Maccabees 14:39
And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with great honour.

1 Maccabees 14:43
Beside this, that he should be obeyed of every man, and that all the writings in the country should be made in his name, and that he should be clothed in purple, and wear gold:

1 Maccabees 14:44
Also that it should be lawful for none of the people or priests to break any of these things, or to gainsay his words, or to gather an assembly in the country without him, or to be clothed in purple, or wear a buckle of gold;

1 Maccabees 14:49
Also that the copies thereof should be laid up in the treasury, to the end that Simon and his sons might have them.

1 Maccabees 15:2
The contents whereof were these: King Antiochus to Simon the high priest and prince of his nation, and to the people of the Jews, greeting:

1 Maccabees 15:10
In the hundred threescore and fourteenth year went Antiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the forces came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon.

1 Maccabees 15:12
For he saw that troubles came upon him all at once, and that his forces had forsaken him.

1 Maccabees 15:15
In the mean season came Numenius and his company from Rome, having letters to the kings and countries; wherein were written these things:

1 Maccabees 15:28
Furthermore he sent unto him Athenobius, one of his friends, to commune with him, and say, Ye withhold Joppa and Gazera; with the tower that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my realm.

1 Maccabees 15:32
So Athenobius the king's friend came to Jerusalem: and when he saw the glory of Simon, and the cupboard of gold and silver plate, and his great attendance, he was astonished, and told him the king's message.

1 Maccabees 15:39
And commanded him to remove his host toward Judea; also he commanded him to build up Cedron, and to fortify the gates, and to war against the people; but as for the king himself, he pursued Tryphon.

1 Maccabees 16:1
Then came up John from Gazera, and told Simon his father what Cendebeus had done.

1 Maccabees 16:2
Wherefore Simon called his two eldest sons, Judas and John, and said unto them, I, and my brethren, and my father's house, have ever from my youth unto this day fought against the enemies of Israel; and things have prospered so well in our hands, that we have delivered Israel oftentimes.

1 Maccabees 16:6
So he and his people pitched over against them: and when he saw that the people were afraid to go over the water brook, he went first over himself, and then the men seeing him passed through after him.

1 Maccabees 16:7
That done, he divided his men, and set the horsemen in the midst of the footmen: for the enemies' horsemen were very many.

1 Maccabees 16:8
Then sounded they with the holy trumpets: whereupon Cendebeus and his host were put to flight, so that many of them were slain, and the remnant gat them to the strong hold.

1 Maccabees 16:13
Wherefore his heart being lifted up, he thought to get the country to himself, and thereupon consulted deceitfully against Simon and his sons to destroy them.
