42 They fel downe also vnto their prayers and besought God that the fault whiche was made might be put out of remembraunce Besides that Iudas exhorted the people earnestly to kepe them selues from such sinne forsomuch as they sawe before their eyes that these men were slayne for the same offence 43 So he gathered of euery one a certayne and sent two thousande drachmes of siluer vnto Hierusalem that there might a sacrifice be offered for the misdeede In the which place he did wel and right for he had some consideration and pondring of the lyfe that is after this time 44 For if he had not thought that they whiche were slayne shoulde ryse againe it had ben superfluous and vayne to make any vowe or sacrifice for them that were dead 45 But forsomuch as he sawe that they which die in the fauour beleefe of god are in good rest and ioy he thought it to be good honorable for a reconsiling to do the same for those which were slaine that the offence might be forgeuen The .xiii. Chapter 1 The comming of Eupator into Iurie 4 The death of Menelaus 10 Machabeus goyng to fight against Eupator moueth his souldiers vnto prayer 15 He killeth fourteene thousande men in the tentes of Antiochus 21 Rhodocus the betrayer of the Iewes is taken 24 Antiochus retayned friendship with the Iewes 1 IN the hundred fourtie and nine yere gat Iudas knowledge that Antiochus Eupator was comming with a great power into iurie 2 And Lysias the stewarde and ruler of his matters with him hauing an hundred ten thousand men of foote of the Grecians fyue thousande horsemen twentie and two Elephantes and three hundred charettes set with hookes 3 Menelaus also ioyned hym selfe with them but with great disceyte spake faire to the king not for any good of the countrey but because he thought to haue ben made some great man of aucthoritie 4 But the king of kinges moued Antiochus minde against this vngodly person and Lysias enformed the king that this Menelaus was the cause of all mischiefe so that the king commaunded to bring him vnto Berea and as the maner of them is to put him vnto death in the same place 5 There was also in the same place a towre of fiftie cubites hie heaped with asshes and it had an instrument that turned rounde on euery side it rouled downe into the asshes and there whosoeuer was condempned of sacriledge or of any other greeuous crime was cast of all men vnto the death 6 Whereinto the king cōmaunded that shamefull person to be cast among the asshes as one that was cause of all vngraciousnesse 7 And reason it was that the vnthrift should dye such a death and not to be buried 8 For he had done much mischiefe vnto the aulter of God whose fire and asshes were holy therefore was it right that he him selfe also should be destroyed with asshes 9 But the king was wood in his minde and came to shew him selfe more cruell vnto the Iewes then his father was 10 Which when Iudas perceaued he commaunded the people to call vpon the Lord nyght and day that he would nowe helpe them also lyke as he had done alway for they were afraide to be put from their lawe from their natural countrey and from the holy temple 11 And not to suffer the people which a litle while afore began to recouer to be subdued againe of the blasphemous nations 12 So when they had done this together and besought the Lorde for mercie with weeping and fasting three dayes long flat vpon the grounde Iudas exhorted them to make them selues redie 13 But he and the eldest together deuised to go foorth first with the people afore the king brought his hoast into Iurie and afore he besieged the citie and so to commit the matter vnto God 14 Wherefore he committed the charge of all thinges vnto God the maker of all the worlde exhorting his people to fight manfully yea euen vnto death for the lawes the temple the citie their owne natiue countrey and to defend the citezins and he set his hoast before Modin 15 He gaue them also that were with him a token of the victory of God choosing out the manliest young men went by night into the kinges pauilion slue of the hoast fourteene thousand men and the greatest of the Elephantes with those that sate vpon him 16 Thus when they had brought a great feare and rumour among the tentes of their enemies and al thinges went prosperously with them 17 They departed in the breake of the day God being their helper and defender 18 Nowe when the king perceaued the manlinesse of the Iewes he went about to take the strong places by craft 19 And remoued his hoast vnto Bethsura which was a wel kept house of defence of the Iewes but they were chased away hurt and discomfited 20 And Iudas sent vnto them that were in it such thinges as were necessarie 21 In the Iewes hoast also there was one Rhodochus which tolde the enemies their secretes but they sought him out and when they had gotten him they put him in prison 22 After this did the king commune with them that were in Bethsura toke truice with them departed and stroke a battaile with Iudas which ouercame him 23 But when he vnderstoode that Philip whom he had left to be ouerseer of this busines at Antioch began to rebell against him he was astonied in his mind so that he yeelded him selfe to y e Iewes and made them an oth to do whatsoeuer they thought right 24 Now when he was reconciled with them he offered made much of the temple gaue great giftes vnto it 25 Embraced Machabeus making him captaine and gouernour from Ptolomais vnto the Gerrhenes 26 Neuerthelesse when he came to Ptolomais the people of the citie were not content with the bond of frendship for they were afraide that he would breake the couenaunt 27 Then went Lysias vp into the iudgement seate and excused the fact as well as he coulde and enformed the people shewed them the cause why pacified them so he came againe to Antioch This is now the matter concerning the kinges iourney and his returne The .xiiij. Chapter 1 By the motion of the Lorde Demetrius sendeth Nicanor to kill the Iewes 18 Nicanor maketh a compact with the Iewes 29 which he yet breaketh through the motion of the king 37 Nicanor commaundeth Razias to be taken 41 The boldnes of Razias 1 AFter three yeres was Iudas infourmed how that Demetrius the sonne of Seleucus was come vp with a great power and shippes through the hauen of Tripolis 2 To take certaine commodious places and countreys against Antiochus and his captaine Lysias 3 Nowe Alcimus whiche had ben hie priest and wylfully defiled him selfe in the time of the mixting seeing that by no meanes he could be helped nor haue any more entraunce to the aulter 4 He came to king Demetrius in the hundred fiftie and one yere
as Iudas and Ionathas were in the land of Galaad and Simon their brother in Galilee before Ptolomais 56 Then Iosephus the sonne of Zachari and Azarias the captaynes hearing of the actes that were done and of the battailes that were striken saide 57 Let vs get vs a name also and go fight against the heathen that are rounde about vs. 58 So they gaue their hoast a commaundement and went toward Iamma 59 Then came Gorgias and his men out of the citie to fight against them 60 Iosephus also and Azarias were chased vnto the borders of Iewry and ther were slaine that day of the people of Israel two thousand men so that there was a great miserie among the people of Israel 61 And all because they were not obedient vnto Iudas and his brethren but thought they shoulde quite themselues manfully 62 Neuerthelesse they came not of the seede of these men by whom Israel was helped 63 But the men that were with Iudas were greatly commended in the sight of all Israel and all the Heathen wheresoeuer their name was heard vpon 64 And the people came vnto them bidding them welcome 65 After this went Iudas foorth with his brethren and fought against the children of Esau in the lande that lyeth toward the south where he wan the citie of Hebron and the townes that lye beside it and as for the walles and towers rounde about it he brent them vp 66 Then remoued he to go into the lande of the Philistines and went through Samaria 67 At the same time were there many priestes slaine in the battaile which wilfully and without aduisement went out for to fight to get them honour 68 And when Iudas came to Azot in the Philistines lande he brake downe their aulters brent the images of their idols spoyled the cities and came againe into the lande of Iuda The .vj.
