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 4:10
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 4:17
And said to the people, Be not greedy of the spoil inasmuch as there is a battle before us,
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 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 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 6:24

Wherefore he went in all haste, and said to the king and the captains of the host and the company, We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us:

1 Maccabees 10:23
What have we done, that Alexander hath prevented us in making amity with the Jews to strengthen himself?
1 Maccabees 10:26
Whereas ye have kept covenants with us, and continued in our friendship, not joining yourselves with our enemies, we have heard hereof, and are glad.
1 Maccabees 10:27
Wherefore now continue ye still to be faithful unto us, and we will well recompense you for the things ye do in our behalf,
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 10:54
Now therefore let us make a league of amity together, and give me now thy daughter to wife: and I will be thy son in law, and will give both thee and her as according to thy dignity.
1 Maccabees 10:70
Thou alone liftest up thyself against us, and I am laughed to scorn for thy sake, and reproached: and why dost thou vaunt thy power against us in the mountains?
1 Maccabees 10:71

1 Maccabees 11:9

1 Maccabees 12:9
Therefore we also, albeit we need none of these things, that we have the holy books of scripture in our hands to comfort us,
1 Maccabees 12:10
Have nevertheless attempted to send unto you for the renewing of brotherhood and friendship, lest we should become strangers unto you altogether: for there is a long time passed since ye sent unto us.
1 Maccabees 12:11
We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our feasts, and other convenient days, do remember you in the sacrifices which we offer, and in our prayers, as reason is, and as it becometh us to think upon our brethren:
1 Maccabees 12:13
As for ourselves, we have had great troubles and wars on every side, forsomuch as the kings that are round about us have fought against us.
1 Maccabees 12:15
For we have help from heaven that succoureth us, so as we are delivered from our enemies, and our enemies are brought under foot.
1 Maccabees 12:18
Wherefore now ye shall do well to give us an answer thereto.
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 12:44
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 12:53

1 Maccabees 13:6

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 13:37
The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which ye sent unto us, we have received: and we are ready to make a stedfast peace with you, yea, and to write unto our officers, to confirm the immunities which we have granted.
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 13:40
And look who are meet among you to be in our court, let then be enrolled, and let there be peace betwixt us.
1 Maccabees 13:46

1 Maccabees 14:21
The ambassadors that were sent unto our people certified us of your glory and honour: wherefore we were glad of their coming,
1 Maccabees 14:22

2 Maccabees 1:7
What time as Demetrius reigned, in the hundred threescore and ninth year, we the Jews wrote unto you in the extremity of trouble that came upon us in those years, from the time that Jason and his company revolted from the holy land and kingdom,
2 Maccabees 1:11

2 Maccabees 1:18
Therefore whereas we are now purposed to keep the purification of the temple upon the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, we thought it necessary to certify you thereof, that ye also might keep it, as the feast of the tabernacles, and of the fire, which was given us when Neemias offered sacrifice, after that he had builded the temple and the altar.
2 Maccabees 1:20
Now after many years, when it pleased God, Neemias, being sent from the king of Persia, did send of the posterity of those priests that had hid it to the fire: but when they told us they found no fire, but thick water;
2 Maccabees 1:27
Gather those together that are scattered from us, deliver them that serve among the heathen, look upon them that are despised and abhorred, and let the heathen know that thou art our God.
2 Maccabees 1:28

2 Maccabees 2:18
As he promised in the law, will shortly have mercy upon us, and gather us together out of every land under heaven into the holy place: for he hath delivered us out of great troubles, and hath purified the place.
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 2:29
For as the master builder of a new house must care for the whole building; but he that undertaketh to set it out, and paint it, must seek out fit things for the adorning thereof: even so I think it is with us.
2 Maccabees 6:14
For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us,
2 Maccabees 6:15
Lest that, being come to the height of sin, afterwards he should take vengeance of us.
2 Maccabees 6:16
And therefore he never withdraweth his mercy from us: and though he punish with adversity, yet doth he never forsake his people.
2 Maccabees 6:17
But let this that we at spoken be for a warning unto us. And now will we come to the declaring of the matter in a few words.

2 Maccabees 7:33

2 Maccabees 8:18

2 Maccabees 11:24
We understand also that the Jews would not consent to our father, for to be brought unto the custom of the Gentiles, but had rather keep their own manner of living: for the which cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to live after their own laws.
2 Maccabees 11:29
Menelans declared unto us, that your desire was to return home, and to follow your own business:
2 Maccabees 14:35
Thou, O Lord of all things, who hast need of nothing, wast pleased that the temple of thine habitation should be among us:
2 Maccabees 15:23
