5:60. And Joseph and Azarias were put to flight, and were pursued unto
the borders of Judea: and there fell on that day, of the people of
Israel, about two thousand men, and there was a great overthrow of the
people:
5:61. Because they did not hearken to Judas and his brethren, thinking
that they should do manfully.
5:62. But they were not of the seed of those men by whom salvation was
brought to Israel.
5:63. And the men of Juda were magnified exceedingly in the sight of all
Israel, and of all the nations where their name was heard.
5:64. And the people assembled to them with joyful acclamations.
5:65. Then Judas and his brethren went forth and attacked the children
of Esau, in the land towards the south, and he took Chebron and her
towns: and he burnt the walls thereof, and the towers all round it.
5:66. And he removed his camp to go into the land of the aliens, and he
went through Samaria.
5:67. In that day some priests fell in battle, while desiring to do
manfully they went out unadvisedly to fight.
5:68. And Judas turned to Azotus, into the land of the strangers, and he
threw down their altars, and he burnt the statues of their gods with
fire: and he took the spoils of the cities, and returned into the land
of Juda.
1 Machabees Chapter 6
The fruitless repentance and death of Antiochus. His son comes against
Judas with a formidable army. He besieges Sion: but at last makes peace
with the Jews.
6:1. Now king Antiochus was going through the higher countries, and he
heard that the city of Elymais in Persia, was greatly renowned, and
abounding in silver and gold,
6:2. And that there was in it a temple exceeding rich; and coverings of
gold, and breastplates, and shields, which king Alexander, son of
Philip, the Macedonian, that reigned first in Greece, had left there.
6:3. So he came, and sought to take the city and to pillage it; but he
was not able, because the design was known to them that were in the
city.
6:4. And they rose up against him in battle, and he fled away from
thence, and departed with great sadness, and returned towards Babylonia.
6:5. And whilst he was in Persia there came one that told him how the
armies that were in the land of Juda were put to flight:
6:6. And that Lysias went with a very great power, and was put to flight
before the face of the Jews, and that they were grown strong by the
armour, and power, and store of spoils which they had gotten out of the
camps which they had destroyed:
6:7. And that they had thrown 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 Bethsura also, his city.
6:8. And it came to pass, when the king heard these words, that he was
struck with fear, and exceedingly moved: and he laid himself down upon
his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not fallen out to him
as he imagined.
6:9. And he remained there many days: for great grief came more and more
upon him, and he made account that he should die.
6:10. And he called for all his friends, and said to them: Sleep is gone
from my eyes, and I am fallen away, and my heart is cast down for
anxiety:
6:11. And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and
into what floods of sorrow wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and
beloved in my power!
