Prayer of Manassheh 1:1
O Lord, Almighty God of our fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their righteous seed;
1 Maccabees 1:9
And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.
1 Maccabees 1:13
Then certain of the people were so forward herein, that they went to the king, who gave them licence to do after the ordinances of the heathen:

1 Maccabees 1:25

1 Maccabees 1:37

1 Maccabees 1:44
For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,
1 Maccabees 1:45
And forbid burnt offerings, and sacrifice, and drink offerings, in the temple; and that they should profane the sabbaths and festival days:
1 Maccabees 1:48
That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:
1 Maccabees 1:49
To the end they might forget the law, and change all the ordinances.
1 Maccabees 1:52
Then many of the people were gathered unto them, to wit every one that forsook the law; and so they committed evils in the land;
1 Maccabees 1:53
And drove the Israelites into secret places, even wheresoever they could flee for succour.
1 Maccabees 1:54
Now the fifteenth day of the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and fifth year, they set up the abomination of desolation upon the altar, and builded idol altars throughout the cities of Juda on every side;
1 Maccabees 1:56
And when they had rent in pieces the books of the law which they found, they burnt them with fire.
1 Maccabees 1:57
And whosoever was found with any the book of the testament, or if any committed to the law, the king's commandment was, that they should put him to death.
1 Maccabees 1:58
Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites every month, to as many as were found in the cities.
1 Maccabees 1:59
Now the five and twentieth day of the month they did sacrifice upon the idol altar, which was upon the altar of God.
1 Maccabees 1:60
At which time according to the commandment they put to death certain women, that had caused their children to be circumcised.
1 Maccabees 1:61
And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them.
1 Maccabees 1:63
Wherefore the rather to die, that they might not be defiled with meats, and that they might not profane the holy covenant: so then they died.
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 2:30
Both they, and their children, and their wives; and their cattle; because afflictions increased sore upon them.
1 Maccabees 2:32
They pursued after them a great number, and having overtaken them, they camped against them, and made war against them on the sabbath day.
1 Maccabees 2:33
And they said unto them, Let that which ye have done hitherto suffice; come forth, and do according to the commandment of the king, and ye shall live.
1 Maccabees 2:34
But they said, We will not come forth, neither will we do the king's commandment, to profane the sabbath day.
1 Maccabees 2:35
So then they gave them the battle with all speed.
1 Maccabees 2:36
Howbeit they answered them not, neither cast they a stone at them, nor stopped the places where they lay hid;
1 Maccabees 2:38
So they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath, and they slew them, with their wives and children and their cattle, to the number of a thousand people.
1 Maccabees 2:39
Now when Mattathias and his friends understood hereof, they mourned for them right sore.
1 Maccabees 2:40
And one of them said to another, If we all do as our brethren have done, and fight not for our lives and laws against the heathen, they will now quickly root us out of the earth.
1 Maccabees 2:41
At that time therefore they decreed, saying, Whosoever shall come to make battle with us on the sabbath day, we will fight against him; neither will we die all, as our brethren that were murdered in the secret places.
1 Maccabees 2:43
Also all they that fled for persecution joined themselves unto them, and were a stay unto them.
1 Maccabees 2:44
So they joined their forces, and smote sinful men in their anger, and wicked men in their wrath: but the rest fled to the heathen for succour.
1 Maccabees 2:46
And what children soever they found within the coast of Israel uncircumcised, those they circumcised valiantly.
1 Maccabees 2:47
They pursued also after the proud men, and the work prospered in their hand.
1 Maccabees 2:48
So they recovered the law out of the hand of the Gentiles, and out of the hand of kings, neither suffered they the sinner to triumph.
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 3:17
Who, when they saw the host coming to meet them, said unto Judas, How shall we be able, being so few, to fight against so great a multitude and so strong, seeing we are ready to faint with fasting all this day?
1 Maccabees 3:20
They come against us in much pride and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and children, and to spoil us:
1 Maccabees 3:24
And they pursued them from the going down of Bethhoron unto the plain, where were slain about eight hundred men of them; and the residue fled into the land of the Philistines.
1 Maccabees 3:40
So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.
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 3:43
They said one to another, Let us restore the decayed fortune of our people, and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary.
1 Maccabees 3:44
Then was the congregation gathered together, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.
1 Maccabees 3:46
Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves together, and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel.
1 Maccabees 3:47
Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes,
1 Maccabees 3:49
They brought also the priests' garments, and the firstfruits, and the tithes: and the Nazarites they stirred up, who had accomplished their days.
1 Maccabees 3:50
Then cried they with a loud voice toward heaven, saying, What shall we do with these, and whither shall we carry them away?
1 Maccabees 3:52
And lo, the heathen are assembled together against us to destroy us: what things they imagine against us, thou knowest.
1 Maccabees 3:54
Then sounded they with trumpets, and cried with a loud voice.
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 4:7
And they saw the camp of the heathen, that it was strong and well harnessed, and compassed round about with horsemen; and these were expert of war.
1 Maccabees 4:13
Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets.
1 Maccabees 4:14
So they joined battle, and the heathen being discomfited fled into the plain.
1 Maccabees 4:15
Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men.
1 Maccabees 4:20
Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their host to flight and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done:
1 Maccabees 4:21
When therefore they perceived these things, they were sore afraid, and seeing also the host of Judas in the plain ready to fight,
1 Maccabees 4:22
They fled every one into the land of strangers.
1 Maccabees 4:23
Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, where they got much gold, and silver, and blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great riches.
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 4:29
So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.
1 Maccabees 4:34
So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they slain.
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 4:38
And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar profaned, and the gates burned up, and shrubs growing in the courts as in a forest, or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests' chambers pulled down;
1 Maccabees 4:39
They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast ashes upon their heads,
1 Maccabees 4:44
And when as they consulted what to do with the altar of burnt offerings, which was profaned;
1 Maccabees 4:45
They thought it best to pull it down, lest it should be a reproach to them, because the heathen had defiled it: wherefore they pulled it down,
1 Maccabees 4:47
Then they took whole stones according to the law, and built a new altar according to the former;
1 Maccabees 4:49
They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they brought the candlestick, and the altar of burnt offerings, and of incense, and the table.
1 Maccabees 4:50
And upon the altar they burned incense, and the lamps that were upon the candlestick they lighted, that they might give light in the temple.
1 Maccabees 4:51
Furthermore they set the loaves upon the table, and spread out the veils, and finished all the works which they had begun to make.
1 Maccabees 4:52
Now on the five and twentieth day of the ninth month, which is called the month Casleu, in the hundred forty and eighth year, they rose up betimes in the morning,
1 Maccabees 4:53
And offered sacrifice according to the law upon the new altar of burnt offerings, which they had made.
1 Maccabees 4:56
And so they kept the dedication of the altar eight days and offered burnt offerings with gladness, and sacrificed the sacrifice of deliverance and praise.
1 Maccabees 4:57
They decked also the forefront of the temple with crowns of gold, and with shields; and the gates and the chambers they renewed, and hanged doors upon them.
1 Maccabees 4:60
At that time also they builded up the mount Sion with high walls and strong towers round about, lest the Gentiles should come and tread it down as they had done before.
1 Maccabees 4:61
And they set there a garrison to keep it, and fortified Bethsura to preserve it; that the people might have a defence against Idumea.
1 Maccabees 5:2
Wherefore they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that was among them, and thereupon they began to slay and destroy the people.
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 5:7
So he fought many battles with them, till at length they were discomfited before him; and he smote them.
1 Maccabees 5:9
Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them; but they fled to the fortress of Dathema.
1 Maccabees 5:11
And they are preparing to come and take the fortress whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host.
1 Maccabees 5:13
Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobie are put to death: their wives and their children also they have carried away captives, and borne away their stuff; and they have destroyed there about a thousand men.
1 Maccabees 5:15
And said, They of Ptolemais, and of Tyrus, and Sidon, and all Galilee of the Gentiles, are assembled together against us to consume us.
1 Maccabees 5:16
Now when Judas and the people heard these words, there assembled a great congregation together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them.
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 5:25
Where they met with the Nabathites, who came unto them in a peaceable manner, and told them every thing that had happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad:
1 Maccabees 5:27
And that they were shut up in the rest of the cities of the country of Galaad, and that against to morrow they had appointed to bring their host against the forts, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day.
1 Maccabees 5:30
And betimes in the morning they looked up, and, behold, there was an innumerable people bearing ladders and other engines of war, to take the fortress: for they assaulted them.
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 5:44
But they took the city, and burned the temple with all that were therein. Thus was Carnaim subdued, neither could they stand any longer before Judas.
1 Maccabees 5:45
Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the country of Galaad, from the least unto the greatest, even their wives, and their children, and their stuff, a very great host, to the end they might come into the land of Judea.
1 Maccabees 5:46
Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst of it.
1 Maccabees 5:47
Then they of the city shut them out, and stopped up the gates with stones.
1 Maccabees 5:48
Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peaceable manner, saying, Let us pass through your land to go into our own country, and none shall do you any hurt; we will only pass through on foot: howbeit they would not open unto him.
1 Maccabees 5:52
After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.
1 Maccabees 5:53
And Judas gathered together those that came behind, and exhorted the people all the way through, till they came into the land of Judea.
1 Maccabees 5:54
So they went up to mount Sion with joy and gladness, where they offered burnt offerings, because not one of them were slain until they had returned in peace.
1 Maccabees 5:56
Joseph the son of Zacharias, and Azarias, captains of the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they had done.
1 Maccabees 5:57
Wherefore they said, Let us also get us a name, and go fight against the heathen that are round about us.
1 Maccabees 5:58
So when they had given charge unto the garrison that was with them, they went toward Jamnia.
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 5:67
At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight unadvisedly.
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 6:6
And that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power was driven away of the Jews; and that they were made strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed:
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 6:18
About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.
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 6:22
And they went unto the king, and said, How long will it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethren?
1 Maccabees 6:24
For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.
1 Maccabees 6:25
Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against their borders.
1 Maccabees 6:26
And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified.
1 Maccabees 6:27
Wherefore if thou dost not prevent them quickly, they will do the greater things than these, neither shalt thou be able to rule them.
1 Maccabees 6:31
These went through Idumea, and pitched against Bethsura, which they assaulted many days, making engines of war; but they of Bethsura came out, and burned them with fire, and fought valiantly.
1 Maccabees 6:34
And to the end they might provoke the elephants to fight, they shewed them the blood of grapes and mulberries.
1 Maccabees 6:35
Moreover 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.
1 Maccabees 6:36
These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him.
1 Maccabees 6:38
As 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.
1 Maccabees 6:40
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.
1 Maccabees 6:45
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.
1 Maccabees 6:49
But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land.
1 Maccabees 6:52
Whereupon they also made engines against their engines, and held them battle a long season.
1 Maccabees 6:53
Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store;)
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 6:59
And covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws.
1 Maccabees 6:60
So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and they accepted thereof.
1 Maccabees 6:61
Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: whereupon they went out of the strong hold.
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 7:11
But they gave no heed to their words; for they saw that they were come with a great power.
1 Maccabees 7:14
For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no wrong.
1 Maccabees 7:16
Whereupon they believed him: howbeit he took of them threescore men, and slew them in one day, according to the words which he wrote,
1 Maccabees 7:17

1 Maccabees 7:46
Whereupon they came forth out of all the towns of Judea round about, and closed them in; so that they, turning back upon them that pursued them, were all slain with the sword, and not one of them was left.
1 Maccabees 7:47

1 Maccabees 8:1
Now Judas had heard of the the Romans, that they were mighty and valiant men, and such as would lovingly accept all that joined themselves unto them, and make a league of amity with all that came unto them;
1 Maccabees 8:2

1 Maccabees 8:3
And what they had done in the country of Spain, for the winning of the mines of the silver and gold which is there;
1 Maccabees 8:4
And that by their policy and patience they had conquered all the place, though it were very far from them; and the kings also that came against them from the uttermost part of the earth, till they had discomfited them, and given them a great overthrow, so that the rest did give them tribute every year:
1 Maccabees 8:5

1 Maccabees 8:8
And the country of India, and Media and Lydia and of the goodliest countries, which they took of him, and gave to king Eumenes:
1 Maccabees 8:10
And that they, having knowledge thereof sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day:
1 Maccabees 8:11
It was told him besides, how they destroyed and brought under their dominion all other kingdoms and isles that at any time resisted them;
1 Maccabees 8:12
But with their friends and such as relied upon them they kept amity: and that they had conquered kingdoms both far and nigh, insomuch as all that heard of their name were afraid of them:
1 Maccabees 8:13
Also that, whom they would help to a kingdom, those reign; and whom again they would, they displace: finally, that they were greatly exalted:
1 Maccabees 8:15
Moreover how they had made for themselves a senate house, wherein three hundred and twenty men sat in council daily, consulting alway for the people, to the end they might be well ordered:
1 Maccabees 8:16
And that they committed their government to one man every year, who ruled over all their country, and that all were obedient to that one, and that there was neither envy nor emmulation among them.
1 Maccabees 8:18
And to intreat them that they would take the yoke from them; for they saw that the kingdom of the Grecians did oppress Israel with servitude.
1 Maccabees 8:19

1 Maccabees 8:22
And this is the copy of the epistle which the senate wrote back again in tables of brass, and sent to Jerusalem, that there they might have by them a memorial of peace and confederacy:
1 Maccabees 8:26
Neither shall they give any thing unto them that make war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, or ships, as it hath seemed good unto the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants without taking any thing therefore.
1 Maccabees 8:28
Neither shall victuals be given to them that take part against them, or weapons, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants, and that without deceit.

1 Maccabees 9:4
From whence they removed, and went to Berea, with twenty thousand footmen and two thousand horsemen.
1 Maccabees 9:9

1 Maccabees 9:13
They also of Judas' side, even they sounded their trumpets also, so that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, and the battle continued from morning till night.
1 Maccabees 9:16
But when they of the left wing saw that they of the right wing were discomfited, they followed upon Judas and those that were with him hard at the heels from behind:
1 Maccabees 9:20
Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying,
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 9:26
And they made enquiry and search for Judas' friends, and brought them unto Bacchides, who took vengeance of them, and used them despitefully.
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 9:38
Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain:
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 9:40
Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their spoils.
1 Maccabees 9:42
So when they had avenged fully the blood of their brother, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan.
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 9:48
Then Jonathan and they that were with him leapt into Jordan, and swam over unto the other bank: howbeit the other passed not over Jordan unto them.
1 Maccabees 9:51
And in them he set a garrison, that they might work malice upon Israel.
1 Maccabees 9:59
So they went and consulted with him.
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 9:61
Wherefore they took of the men of the country, that were authors of that mischief, about fifty persons, and slew them.
1 Maccabees 9:62
Afterward Jonathan, and Simon, and they that were with him, got them away to Bethbasi, which is in the wilderness, and they repaired the decays thereof, and made it strong.
1 Maccabees 9:64
Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season and made 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 10:8
Who were sore afraid, when they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together an host.

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 10:30
And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for the third part or the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the three governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.
1 Maccabees 10:37
And of them some shall be placed in the king's strong holds, of whom also some shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, which are of trust: and I will that their overseers and governors be of themselves, and that they live after their own laws, even as the king hath commanded in the land of Judea.
1 Maccabees 10:38
And concerning the three governments that are added to Judea from the country of Samaria, let them be joined with Judea, that they may be reckoned to be under one, nor bound to obey other authority than the high priest's.
1 Maccabees 10:42
And beside this, the five thousand shekels of silver, which they took from the uses of the temple out of the accounts year by year, even those things shall be released, because they appertain to the priests that minister.
1 Maccabees 10:43
And whosoever they be that flee unto the temple at Jerusalem, or be within the liberties hereof, being indebted unto the king, or for any other matter, let them be at liberty, and all that they have in my realm.
1 Maccabees 10:46
Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit unto them, nor received them, because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel; for he had afflicted them very sore.
1 Maccabees 10:47
But with Alexander they were well pleased, because he was the first that entreated of true peace with them, and they were confederate with him always.
1 Maccabees 10:57

1 Maccabees 10:64

1 Maccabees 10:72

1 Maccabees 10:76
Then Jonathan laid siege unto it: whereupon they of the city let him in for fear: and so Jonathan won Joppa.
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 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 11:4
And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad and them that he had burnt in the battle; for they had made heaps of them by the way where he should pass.
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 11:6
Then Jonathan met the king with great pomp at Joppa, where they saluted one another, and lodged.
1 Maccabees 11:18
King Ptolemee also died the third day after, and they that were in the strong holds were slain one of another.
1 Maccabees 11:41

1 Maccabees 11:44
Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto Antioch: and when they came to the king, the king was very glad of their coming.
1 Maccabees 11:45
Howbeit they that were of the city gathered themselves together into the midst of the city, to the number of an hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have slain the king.
1 Maccabees 11:46
Wherefore the king fled into the court, but they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.
1 Maccabees 11:48
Also they set fire on the city, and gat many spoils that day, and delivered the king.
1 Maccabees 11:49
So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would, their courage was abated: wherefore they made supplication to the king, and cried, saying,
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 11:55
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 11:60
Then Jonathan went forth, and passed through the cities beyond the water, and all the forces of Syria gathered themselves unto him for to help him: and when he came to Ascalon, they of the city met him honourably.
1 Maccabees 11:61
From whence he went to Gaza, but they of Gaza shut him out; wherefore he laid siege unto it, and burned the suburbs thereof with fire, and spoiled them.
1 Maccabees 11:62
Afterward, when they of Gaza made supplication unto Jonathan, he made peace with them, and took the sons of their chief men for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem, and passed through the country unto Damascus.
1 Maccabees 11:66
But they desired to have peace with him, which he granted them, and then put them out from thence, and took the city, and set a garrison in it.
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 11:69
So when they that lay in ambush rose out of their places and joined battle, all that were of Jonathan's side fled;
1 Maccabees 11:72
Afterwards turning again to battle, he put them to flight, and so they ran away.
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 12:27
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 12:30
Then Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they were gone over the river Eleutherus.
1 Maccabees 12:34
For he had heard that they would deliver the hold unto them that took Demetrius' part; wherefore he set a garrison there to keep it.
1 Maccabees 12:37
Upon this they came together to build up the city, forasmuch as part of the wall toward the brook on the east side was fallen down, and they repaired that which was called Caphenatha.
1 Maccabees 12:48
Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates and took him, and all them that came with him they slew with the sword.
1 Maccabees 12:50
But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another; and went close together, prepared to fight.
1 Maccabees 12:51
They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving that they were ready to fight for their lives, turned back again.
1 Maccabees 12:52
Whereupon they all came into the land of Judea peaceably, and there they bewailed Jonathan, and them that were with him, and they were sore afraid; wherefore all Israel made great lamentation.
1 Maccabees 12:53
Then all the heathen that were round about then sought to destroy them: for said they, They have no captain, nor any to help them: now therefore let us make war upon them, and take away their memorial from among men.
1 Maccabees 13:8
And they answered with a loud voice, saying, Thou shalt be our leader instead of Judas and Jonathan thy brother.
1 Maccabees 13:17

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.
