1 Maccabees 4:10
Now therefore let us cry unto heaven, if peradventure the Lord will have mercy upon us, and remember the covenant of our fathers, and destroy this host before our face this day:

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 4:31
Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:

1 Maccabees 4:37
Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion.

1 Maccabees 5:14
While these letters were yet reading, behold, there came other messengers from Galilee with their clothes rent, who reported on this wise,

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

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 5:39
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 5:46
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.

After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.

1 Maccabees 6:13
I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.

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 6:26
And, behold, this day are they besieging the tower at Jerusalem, to take it: the sanctuary also and Bethsura have they fortified.

1 Maccabees 6:28
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 6:32
Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in Bathzacharias, over against the king's camp.

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 6:38
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 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 7:19
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 7:33
After this went Nicanor up to mount Sion, and there came out of the sanctuary certain of the priests and certain of the elders of the people, to salute him peaceably, and to shew him the burnt sacrifice that was offered for the king.

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 7:37
Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by thy name, and to be a house of prayer and petition for thy people:

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 7:42
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 7:48
For this cause the people rejoiced greatly, and they kept that day a day of great gladness.

1 Maccabees 7:49
Moreover they ordained to keep yearly this day, being the thirteenth of Adar.

1 Maccabees 8:5
Beside this, how they had discomfited in battle Philip, and Perseus, king of the Citims, with others that lifted up themselves against them, and had overcome them:

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 8:14
Yet for all this none of them wore a crown or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby:

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 9:10
Then Judas said, God forbid that I should do this thing, and flee away from them: if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour.

1 Maccabees 9:28
For this cause all Judas' friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,

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 9:37
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 9:45
For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside.

1 Maccabees 10:10
This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and began to build and repair the city.

1 Maccabees 10:17
Upon this he wrote a letter, and sent it unto him, according to these words, saying,

1 Maccabees 10:20
Wherefore now this day we ordain thee to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be called the king's friend; (and therewithal he sent him a purple robe and a crown of gold:) and require thee to take our part, and keep friendship with us.

1 Maccabees 10:25
He sent unto them therefore to this effect: King Demetrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:

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 10:42
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 10:51
Afterward Alexander sent ambassadors to Ptolemee king of Egypt with a message to this effect:

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

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 11:19
By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred threescore and seventh year.

1 Maccabees 11:23
Nevertheless Jonathan, when he heard this, commanded to besiege it still: and he chose certain of the elders of Israel and the priests, and put himself in peril;

1 Maccabees 11:29
So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan of all these things after this manner:

1 Maccabees 11:36
And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth for ever.

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 11:42
So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only do this for thee and thy people, but I will greatly honour thee and thy nation, if opportunity serve.

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 11:54
After this returned Tryphon, and with him the young child Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned.

1 Maccabees 11:58
Upon this he sent him golden vessels to be served in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, and to be clothed in purple, and to wear a golden buckle.

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 12:4
Upon this the Romans gave them letters unto the governors of every place that they should bring them into the land of Judea peaceably.

1 Maccabees 12:5
And this is the copy of the letters which Jonathan wrote to the Lacedemonians:

1 Maccabees 12:16
For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater he son of Jason, and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the former league.

1 Maccabees 12:19
And this is the copy of the letters which Oniares sent.

1 Maccabees 12:22
Now therefore, since this is come to our knowledge, ye shall do well to write unto us of your prosperity.

1 Maccabees 12:23
We do write back again to you, that your cattle and goods are our's, and our's are your's We do command therefore our ambassadors to make report unto you on this wise.

1 Maccabees 12:35
After this came Jonathan home again, and calling the elders of the people together, he consulted with them about building strong holds in Judea,

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 12:44
Unto Jonathan also he said, Why hast thou brought all this people to so great trouble, seeing there is no war betwixt us?

1 Maccabees 12:45
Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, and all that have any charge: as for me, I will return and depart: for this is the cause of my coming.

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 13:30
This is the sepulchre which he made at Modin, and it standeth yet unto this day.

1 Maccabees 13:35
Unto whom king Demetrius answered and wrote after this manner:

1 Maccabees 13:39
As for any oversight or fault committed unto this day, we forgive it, and the crown tax also, which ye owe us: and if there were any other tribute paid in Jerusalem, it shall no more be paid.

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 14:20
And this is the copy of the letters that the Lacedemonians sent; The rulers of the Lacedemonians, with the city, unto Simon the high priest, and the elders, and priests, and residue of the people of the Jews, our brethren, send greeting:

1 Maccabees 14:22
And did register the things that they spake in the council of the people in this manner; Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews' ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friendship they had with us.

1 Maccabees 14:24
After this Simon sent Numenius to Rome with a great shield of gold of a thousand pound weight to confirm the league with them.

1 Maccabees 14:27
So then they wrote it in tables of brass, which they set upon pillars in mount Sion: and this is the copy of the writing; The eighteenth day of the month Elul, in the hundred threescore and twelfth year, being the third year of Simon the high priest,

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 14:48
So they commanded that this writing should be put in tables of brass, and that they should be set up within the compass of the sanctuary in a conspicuous place;

1 Maccabees 15:8
And if anything be, or shall be, owing to the king, let it be forgiven thee from this time forth for evermore.

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.

2 Maccabees 1:22
When this was done, and the time came that the sun shone, which afore was hid in the cloud, there was a great fire kindled, so that every man marvelled.

2 Maccabees 1:24
And the prayer was after this manner; O Lord, Lord God, Creator of all things, who art fearful and strong, and righteous, and merciful, and the only and gracious King,

2 Maccabees 1:32
When this was done, there was kindled a flame: but it was consumed by the light that shined from the altar.

2 Maccabees 1:33
So when this matter was known, it was told the king of Persia, that in the place, where the priests that were led away had hid the fire, there appeared water, and that Neemias had purified the sacrifices therewith.

2 Maccabees 1:36
And Neemias called this thing Naphthar, which is as much as to say, a cleansing: but many men call it Nephi.

2 Maccabees 2:26
Therefore to us, that have taken upon us this painful labour of abridging, it was not easy, but a matter of sweat and watching;

2 Maccabees 2:27
Even as it is no ease unto him that prepareth a banquet, and seeketh the benefit of others: yet for the pleasuring of many we will undertake gladly this great pains;

2 Maccabees 3:14
So at the day which he appointed he entered in to order this matter: wherefore there was no small agony throughout the whole city.

2 Maccabees 3:40
And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury, fell out on this sort.

2 Maccabees 4:1
This Simon now, of whom we spake afore, having been a betrayer of the money, and of his country, slandered Onias, as if he had terrified Heliodorus, and been the worker of these evils.

2 Maccabees 4:4
Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Apollonius, as being the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, did rage, and increase Simon's malice,

2 Maccabees 4:9
Beside this, he promised to assign an hundred and fifty more, if he might have licence to set him up a place for exercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of Antiochians.

2 Maccabees 4:19
This ungracious Jason sent special messengers from Jerusalem, who were Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought fit not to bestow upon the sacrifice, because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges.

2 Maccabees 4:20
This money then, in regard of the sender, was appointed to Hercules' sacrifice; but because of the bearers thereof, it was employed to the making of gallies.

2 Maccabees 5:7
Howbeit for all this he obtained not the principality, but at the last received shame for the reward of his treason, and fled again into the country of the Ammonites.

2 Maccabees 5:11
Now when this that was done came to the king's car, he thought that Judea had revolted: whereupon removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,

2 Maccabees 5:15
Yet was he not content with this, but presumed to go into the most holy temple of all the world; Menelans, that traitor to the laws, and to his own country, being his guide:

2 Maccabees 5:18
For had they not been formerly wrapped in many sins, this man, as soon as he had come, had forthwith been scourged, and put back from his presumption, as Heliodorus was, whom Seleucus the king sent to view the treasury.

2 Maccabees 6:1
Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God:

2 Maccabees 6:3
The coming in of this mischief was sore and grievous to the people:

2 Maccabees 6:12
Now I beseech those that read this book, that they be not discouraged for these calamities, but that they judge those punishments not to be for destruction, but for a chastening of our nation.
