Then many that sought after justice and judgment went down into the wilderness, to dwell there:

Then Mattathias and his friends went round about, and pulled down the altars:

Moreover he went through the cities of Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and turning away wrath from Israel:

Which thing when Judas perceived, he went forth to meet him, and so he smote him, and slew him: many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.

So he made him ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him, and to be avenged of the children of Israel.

And when he came near to the going up of Bethhoron, Judas went forth to meet him with a small company:

So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.

Now Jerusalem lay void as a wilderness, there was none of her children that went in or out: the sanctuary also was trodden down, and aliens kept the strong hold; the heathen had their habitation in that place; and joy was taken from Jacob, and the pipe with the harp ceased.

Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets.

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.

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.

Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and went up into mount Sion.

Then went Simon into Galilee, where he fought many battles with the heathen, so that the heathen were discomfited by him.

Judas Maccabeus also and his brother Jonathan went over Jordan, and travelled three days’ journey in the wilderness,

From whence he removed by night, and went till he came to the fortress.

When Judas therefore saw that the battle was begun, and that the cry of the city went up to heaven, with trumpets, and a great sound,

So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer.

From thence went he, and took Casphon, Maged, Bosor, and the other cities of the country of Galaad.

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.

So he went first over unto them, and all the people after him: then all the heathen, being discomfited before him, cast away their weapons, and fled unto the temple that was at Carnaim.

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

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.

So when they had given charge unto the garrison that was with them, they went toward Jamnia.

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.

At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight unadvisedly.

Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:

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:

And they went unto the king, and said, How long will it be ere thou execute judgment, and avenge our brethren?

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.

These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him.

These were ready at every occasion: wheresoever the beast was, and whithersoever the beast went, they went also, neither departed they from him.

Then the king’s army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against mount Sion.

Was returned out of Persia and Media, and the king’s host also that went with him, and that he sought to take unto him the ruling of the affairs.

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:

Also the king and the princes made an oath unto them: whereupon they went out of the strong hold.

Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left with him a power to aid him: so Bacchides went to the king.

He went out into all the coasts of Judea round about, and took vengeance of them that had revolted from him, so that they durst no more go forth into the country.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

O Lord, when they that were sent from the king of the Assyrians blasphemed, thine angel went out, and smote an hundred fourscore and five thousand of them.

They went therefore to Rome, which was a very great journey, and came into the senate, where they spake and said.

Who went forth by the way that leadeth to Galgala, and pitched their tents before Masaloth, which is in Arbela, and after they had won it, they slew much people.

From whence they removed, and went to Berea, with twenty thousand footmen and two thousand horsemen.

In those days also was there a very great famine, by reason whereof the country revolted, and went with them.

But the children of Jambri came out of Medaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went their way with it.

Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain:

So they went and consulted with him.

Then went he and laid siege against Bethbasi; and they fought against it a long season and made engines of war.

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

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

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,

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.

In the hundred and sixtieth year Alexander, the son of Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, went up and took Ptolemais: for the people had received him, by means whereof he reigned there,

Now when king Demetrius heard thereof, he gathered together an exceeding great host, and went forth against him to fight.

Insomuch as every man left his place, and went into his own country.

And he continued the battle very sore until the sun went down: and that day was Demetrius slain.

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

Who thereupon went honourably to Ptolemais, where he met the two kings, and gave them and their friends silver and gold, and many presents, and found favour in their sight.

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.

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.

The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol’s temple, for safety.

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.

Then certain ungodly persons, who hated their own people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan besieged the tower,

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.

Moreover there was one Tryphon, that had been of Alexander’s part afore, who, seeing that all the host murmured against Demetrius, went to Simalcue the Arabian that brought up Antiochus the young son of Alexander,

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.

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.

He went to meet them, and left Simon his brother in the country.

So they went unto Rome, and entered into the senate, and said, Jonathan the high priest, and the people of the Jews, sent us unto you, to the end ye should renew the friendship, which ye had with them, and league, as in former time.

Simon also went forth, and passed through the country unto Ascalon, and the holds there adjoining, from whence he turned aside to Joppa, and won it.

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.

Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan.

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

And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.

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.

And saw that the people was in great trembling and fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and gathered the people together,

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.

Afterward Tryphon returned and went into his own land.

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.

Who went and smote the host of Demetrius, and took him, and brought him to Arsaces, by whom he was put in ward.

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.

So he chose out of the country twenty thousand men of war with horsemen, who went out against Cendebeus, and rested that night at Modin.

And when as they rose in the morning, and went into the plain, behold, a mighty great host both of footmen and horsemen came against them: howbeit there was a water brook betwixt them.

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.

He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his countrymen, but seeking the good of all, both publick and private:

And the royal privileges granted of special favour to the Jews by the means of John the father of Eupolemus, who went ambassador to Rome for amity and aid, he took away; and putting down the governments which were according to the law, he brought up new customs against the law:

Where he was honourably received of Jason, and of the city, and was brought in with torch alight, and with great shoutings: and so afterward went with his host unto Phenice.

And commanded his men of war not to spare such as they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses.

Moreover there went out a decree to the neighbour cities of the heathen, by the suggestion of Ptolemee, against the Jews, that they should observe the same fashions, and be partakers of their sacrifices:

And leave a notable example to such as be young to die willingly and courageously for the honourable and holy laws. And when he had said these words, immediately he went to the torment:

Then Judas Maccabeus, and they that were with him, went privily into the towns, and called their kinsfolks together, and took unto them all such as continued in the Jews’ religion, and assembled about six thousand men.

For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and went about to rob the temple, and to hold the city; whereupon the multitude running to defend themselves with their weapons put them to flight; and so it happened, that Antiochus being put to flight of the inhabitants returned with shame.

Again, considering how that the princes that are borderers and neighbours unto my kingdom wait for opportunities, and expect what shall be the event. I have appointed my son Antiochus king, whom I often committed and commended unto many of you, when I went up into the high provinces; to whom I have written as followeth:
