1 Maccabees 3:8 CPDV

⁶  And his enemies were repelled by the fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled. And salvation was well-directed in his hand.

⁷  And he provoked many kings, and he gave joy to Jacob by his works, and his memory will be a blessing for all generations.

⁸  And he traveled through the cities of Judah, and he destroyed the impious out of them, and he turned wrath away from Israel.

⁹  And he was renowned, even to the utmost part of the earth, and he gathered together those who were perishing.

¹⁰  And so Apollonius gathered together the Gentiles, with a numerous and great army from Samaria, to make war against Israel.
