apocrypha_kjv@1Esdras:8:85 @ Moreover ye shall never seek to have peace with them, that ye may be strong, and eat the good things of the land, and that ye may leave the inheritance of the land unto your children for evermore.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:36 @ For it was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:44 @ For the king had sent letters by messengers unto Jerusalem and the cities of Juda that they should follow the strange laws of the land,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:1:53 @ And drove the Israelites into secret places, even wheresoever they could flee for succour.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:26 @ Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God like as Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:37 @ But said, Let us die all in our innocency: heaven and earth will testify for us, that ye put us to death wrongfully.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:39 @ Now when Mattathias and his friends understood hereof, they mourned for them right sore.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:40 @ And one of them said to another, If we all do as our brethren have done, and fight not for our lives and laws against the heathen, they will now quickly root us out of the earth.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:43 @ Also all they that fled for persecution joined themselves unto them, and were a stay unto them.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:44 @ So they joined their forces, and smote sinful men in their anger, and wicked men in their wrath: but the rest fled to the heathen for succour.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:66 @ As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, even from his youth up: let him be your captain, and fight the battle of the people.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:2:70 @ And he died in the hundred forty and sixth year, and his sons buried him in the sepulchres of his fathers at Modin, and all Israel made great lamentation for him.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:4 @ In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:5 @ For He pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:6 @ Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because salvation prospered in his hand.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:7 @ He grieved also many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:14 @ He said, I will get me a name and honour in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and them that are with him, who despise the king's commandment.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:18 @ Unto whom Judas answered, It is no hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands of a few; and with the God of heaven it is all one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small company:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:19 @ For the victory of battle standeth not in the multitude of an host; but strength cometh from heaven.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:21 @ But we fight for our lives and our laws.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:22 @ Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow them before our face: and as for you, be ye not afraid of them.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:28 @ He opened also his treasure, and gave his soldiers pay for a year, commanding them to be ready whensoever he should need them.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:30 @ He feared that he should not be able to bear the charges any longer, nor to have such gifts to give so liberally as he did before: for he had abounded above the kings that were before him.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:41 @ And the merchants of the country, hearing the fame of them, took silver and gold very much, with servants, and came into the camp to buy the children of Israel for slaves: a power also of Syria and of the land of the Philistines joined themselves unto them.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:42 @ Now when Judas and his brethren saw that miseries were multiplied, and that the forces did encamp themselves in their borders: for they knew how the king had given commandment to destroy the people, and utterly abolish them;
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:43 @ They said one to another, Let us restore the decayed fortune of our people, and let us fight for our people and the sanctuary.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:44 @ Then was the congregation gathered together, that they might be ready for battle, and that they might pray, and ask mercy and compassion.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:46 @ Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves together, and came to Maspha, over against Jerusalem; for in Maspha was the place where they prayed aforetime in Israel.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:51 @ For thy sanctuary is trodden down and profaned, and thy priests are in heaviness, and brought low.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:56 @ But as for such as were building houses, or had betrothed wives, or were planting vineyards, or were fearful, those he commanded that they should return, every man to his own house, according to the law.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:3:59 @ For it is better for us to die in battle, than to behold the calamities of our people and our sanctuary.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:15 @ Howbeit all the hindmost of them were slain with the sword: for they pursued them unto Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were slain of them upon a three thousand men.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:20 @ Who when they perceived that the Jews had put their host to flight and were burning the tents; for the smoke that was seen declared what was done:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:4:58 @ Thus was there very great gladness among the people, for that the reproach of the heathen was put away.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:4 @ Also he remembered the injury of the children of Bean, who had been a snare and an offence unto the people, in that they lay in wait for them in the ways.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:12 @ Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for many of us are slain:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:16 @ Now when Judas and the people heard these words, there assembled a great congregation together, to consult what they should do for their brethren, that were in trouble, and assaulted of them.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:17 @ Then said Judas unto Simon his brother, Choose thee out men, and go and deliver thy brethren that are in Galilee, for I and Jonathan my brother will go into the country of Galaad.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:30 @ And betimes in the morning they looked up, and, behold, there was an innumerable people bearing ladders and other engines of war, to take the fortress: for they assaulted them.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:32 @ He said unto his host, Fight this day for your brethren.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:40 @ Then Timotheus said unto the captains of his host, When Judas and his host come near the brook, if he pass over first unto us, we shall not be able to withstand him; for he will mightily prevail against us:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:5:67 @ At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight unadvisedly.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:1 @ About that time king Antiochus travelling through the high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia was a city greatly renowned for riches, silver, and gold;
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:8 @ Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:9 @ And there he continued many days: for his grief was ever more and more, and he made account that he should die.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:10 @ Wherefore he called for all his friends, and said unto them, The sleep is gone from mine eyes, and my heart faileth for very care.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:11 @ And I thought with myself, Into what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood of misery is it, wherein now I am! for I was bountiful and beloved in my power.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:13 @ I perceive therefore that for this cause these troubles are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:14 @ Then called he for Philip, one of his friends, who he made ruler over all his realm,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:15 @ And gave him the crown, and his robe, and his signet, to the end he should bring up his son Antiochus, and nourish him up for the kingdom.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:20 @ So they came together, and besieged them in the hundred and fiftieth year, and he made mounts for shot against them, and other engines.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:24 @ For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:35 @ Moreover they divided the beasts among the armies, and for every elephant they appointed a thousand men, armed with coats of mail, and with helmets of brass on their heads; and beside this, for every beast were ordained five hundred horsemen of the best.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:38 @ As for the remnant of the horsemen, they set them on this side and that side at the two parts of the host giving them signs what to do, and being harnessed all over amidst the ranks.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:41 @ Wherefore all that heard the noise of their multitude, and the marching of the company, and the rattling of the harness, were moved: for the army was very great and mighty.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:49 @ But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:51 @ As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:6:59 @ And covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before: for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws.

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:11 @ But they gave no heed to their words; for they saw that they were come with a great power.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:14 @ For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no wrong.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:18 @ Wherefore the fear and dread of them fell upon all the people, who said, There is neither truth nor righteousness in them; for they have broken the covenant and oath that they made.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:21 @ But Alcimus contended for the high priesthood.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:33 @ 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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:7:37 @ Thou, O Lord, didst choose this house to be called by thy name, and to be a house of prayer and petition for thy people:

apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:3 @ And what they had done in the country of Spain, for the winning of the mines of the silver and gold which is there;
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:14 @ Yet for all this none of them wore a crown or was clothed in purple, to be magnified thereby:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:15 @ Moreover how they had made for themselves a senate house, wherein three hundred and twenty men sat in council daily, consulting alway for the people, to the end they might be well ordered:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:18 @ And to intreat them that they would take the yoke from them; for they saw that the kingdom of the Grecians did oppress Israel with servitude.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:8:23 @ Good success be to the Romans, and to the people of the Jews, by sea and by land for ever: the sword also and enemy be far from them,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:7 @ When Judas therefore saw that his host slipt away, and that the battle pressed upon him, he was sore troubled in mind, and much distressed, for that he had no time to gather them together.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:9 @ But they dehorted him, saying, We shall never be able: let us now rather save our lives, and hereafter we will return with our brethren, and fight against them: for we are but few.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:10 @ Then Judas said, God forbid that I should do this thing, and flee away from them: if our time be come, let us die manfully for our brethren, and let us not stain our honour.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:12 @ As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:20 @ Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:22 @ As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not written: for they were very many.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:26 @ And they made enquiry and search for Judas' friends, and brought them unto Bacchides, who took vengeance of them, and used them despitefully.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:28 @ For this cause all Judas' friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:32 @ But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he sought for to slay him
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:44 @ Then Jonathan said to his company, Let us go up now and fight for our lives, for it standeth not with us to day, as in time past:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:45 @ For, behold, the battle is before us and behind us, and the water of Jordan on this side and that side, the marsh likewise and wood, neither is there place for us to turn aside.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:53 @ Besides, he took the chief men's sons in the country for hostages, and put them into the tower at Jerusalem to be kept.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:55 @ And as he began to pull down, even at that time was Alcimus plagued, and his enterprizes hindered: for his mouth was stopped, and he was taken with a palsy, so that he could no more speak any thing, nor give order concerning his house.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:9:68 @ And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore: for his counsel and travail was in vain.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:1 @ 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,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:4 @ For said he, Let us first make peace with him, before he join with Alexander against us:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:11 @ And he commanded the workmen to build the walls and the mount Sion and about with square stones for fortification; and they did so.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:14 @ Only at Bethsura certain of those that had forsaken the law and the commandments remained still: for it was their place of refuge.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:29 @ And now do I free you, and for your sake I release all the Jews, from tributes, and from the customs of salt, and from crown taxes,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:30 @ And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for the third part or the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the three governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:32 @ And as for the tower which is at Jerusalem, I yield up authority over it, and give the high priest, that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to keep it.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:34 @ Furthermore I will that all the feasts, and sabbaths, and new moons, and solemn days, and the three days before the feast, and the three days after the feast shall be all of immunity and freedom for all the Jews in my realm.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:39 @ As for Ptolemais, and the land pertaining thereto, I give it as a free gift to the sanctuary at Jerusalem for the necessary expences of the sanctuary.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:43 @ And whosoever they be that flee unto the temple at Jerusalem, or be within the liberties hereof, being indebted unto the king, or for any other matter, let them be at liberty, and all that they have in my realm.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:44 @ For the building also and repairing of the works of the sanctuary expences shall be given of the king's accounts.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:45 @ Yea, and for the building of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, expences shall be given out of the king's accounts, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:46 @ Now when Jonathan and the people heard these words, they gave no credit unto them, nor received them, because they remembered the great evil that he had done in Israel; for he had afflicted them very sore.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:56 @ And now will I do to thee, as thou hast written: meet me therefore at Ptolemais, that we may see one another; for I will marry my daughter to thee according to thy desire.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:63 @ And he made him sit by himself, and said into his princes, Go with him into the midst of the city, and make proclamation, that no man complain against him of any matter, and that no man trouble him for any manner of cause.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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?
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:71 @ Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, come down to us into the plain field, and there let us try the matter together: for with me is the power of the cities.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:74 @ 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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:76 @ Then Jonathan laid siege unto it: whereupon they of the city let him in for fear: and so Jonathan won Joppa.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:80 @ And Jonathan knew that there was an ambushment behind him; for they had compassed in his host, and cast darts at the people, from morning till evening.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:10:83 @ The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol's temple, for safety.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:2 @ Whereupon he took his journey into Spain in peaceable manner, so as they of the cities opened unto him, and met him: for king Alexander had commanded them so to do, because he was his brother in law.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:4 @ And when he came near to Azotus, they shewed him the temple of Dagon that was burnt, and Azotus and the suburbs thereof that were destroyed, and the bodies that were cast abroad and them that he had burnt in the battle; for they had made heaps of them by the way where he should pass.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:10 @ For I repent that I gave my daughter unto him, for he sought to slay me.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:17 @ For Zabdiel the Arabian took off Alexander's head, and sent it unto Ptolemee.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:34 @ Wherefore we have ratified unto them the borders of Judea, with the three governments of Apherema and Lydda and Ramathem, that are added unto Judea from the country of Samaria, and all things appertaining unto them, for all such as do sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them yearly aforetime out of the fruits of the earth and of trees.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:35 @ And as for other things that belong unto us, of the tithes and customs pertaining unto us, as also the saltpits, and the crown taxes, which are due unto us, we discharge them of them all for their relief.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:36 @ And nothing hereof shall be revoked from this time forth for ever.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:41 @ In the mean time Jonathan sent unto king Demetrius, that he would cast those of the tower out of Jerusalem, and those also in the fortresses: for they fought against Israel.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:42 @ So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, I will not only do this for thee and thy people, but I will greatly honour thee and thy nation, if opportunity serve.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:43 @ Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou send me men to help me; for all my forces are gone from me.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:47 @ Then the king called to the Jews for help, who came unto him all at once, and dispersing themselves through the city slew that day in the city to the number of an hundred thousand.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:60 @ 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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:62 @ Afterward, when they of Gaza made supplication unto Jonathan, he made peace with them, and took the sons of their chief men for hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem, and passed through the country unto Damascus.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:67 @ As for Jonathan and his host, they pitched at the water of Gennesar, from whence betimes in the morning they gat them to the plain of Nasor.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:11:68 @ And, behold, the host of strangers met them in the plain, who, having laid men in ambush for him in the mountains, came themselves over against him.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:1 @ Now when Jonathan saw that time served him, he chose certain men, and sent them to Rome, for to confirm and renew the friendship that they had with them.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:2 @ He sent letters also to the Lacedemonians, and to other places, for the same purpose.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:16 @ For this cause we chose Numenius the son of Antiochus, and Antipater he son of Jason, and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the amity that we had with them, and the former league.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:25 @ He removed from Jerusalem, and met them in the land of Amathis: for he gave them no respite to enter his country.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:28 @ But when the adversaries heard that Jonathan and his men were ready for battle, they feared, and trembled in their hearts, and they kindled fires in their camp.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:29 @ Howbeit Jonathan and his company knew it not till the morning: for they saw the lights burning.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:30 @ Then Jonathan pursued after them, but overtook them not: for they were gone over the river Eleutherus.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:34 @ For he had heard that they would deliver the hold unto them that took Demetrius' part; wherefore he set a garrison there to keep it.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:36 @ And making the walls of Jerusalem higher, and raising a great mount between the tower and the city, for to separate it from the city, that so it might be alone, that men might neither sell nor buy in it.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:41 @ Then Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for the battle, and came to Bethsan.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:45 @ Therefore send them now home again, and choose a few men to wait on thee, and come thou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it thee, and the rest of the strong holds and forces, and all that have any charge: as for me, I will return and depart: for this is the cause of my coming.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:51 @ They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving that they were ready to fight for their lives, turned back again.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:12:53 @ Then all the heathen that were round about then sought to destroy them: for said they, They have no captain, nor any to help them: now therefore let us make war upon them, and take away their memorial from among men.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:3 @ And gave them exhortation, saying, Ye yourselves know what great things I, and my brethren, and my father's house, have done for the laws and the sanctuary, the battles also and troubles which we have seen.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:4 @ By reason whereof all my brethren are slain for Israel's sake, and I am left alone.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:5 @ Now therefore be it far from me, that I should spare mine own life in any time of trouble: for I am no better than my brethren.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:6 @ Doubtless I will avenge my nation, and the sanctuary, and our wives, and our children: for all the heathen are gathered to destroy us of very malice.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:15 @ Whereas we have Jonathan thy brother in hold, it is for money that he is owing unto the king's treasure, concerning the business that was committed unto him.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:26 @ And all Israel made great lamentation for him, and bewailed him many days.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:28 @ Moreover he set up seven pyramids, one against another, for his father, and his mother, and his four brethren.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:29 @ And in these he made cunning devices, about the which he set great pillars, and upon the pillars he made all their armour for a perpetual memory, and by the armour ships carved, that they might be seen of all that sail on the sea.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees: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.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:48 @ Yea, he put all uncleanness out of it, and placed such men there as would keep the law, and made it stronger than it was before, and built therein a dwellingplace for himself.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:13:49 @ They also of the tower in Jerusalem were kept so strait, that they could neither come forth, nor go into the country, nor buy, nor sell: wherefore they were in great distress for want of victuals, and a great number of them perished through famine.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:4 @ As for the land of Judea, that was quiet all the days of Simon; for he sought the good of his nation in such wise, as that evermore his authority and honour pleased them well.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:5 @ And as he was honourable in all his acts, so in this, that he took Joppa for an haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:10 @ He provided victuals for the cities, and set in them all manner of munition, so that his honourable name was renowned unto the end of the world.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:12 @ For every man sat under his vine and his fig tree, and there was none to fray them:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:26 @ For he and his brethren and the house of his father have established Israel, and chased away in fight their enemies from them, and confirmed their liberty.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:29 @ Forasmuch as oftentimes there have been wars in the country, wherein for the maintenance of their sanctuary, and the law, Simon the son of Mattathias, of the posterity of Jarib, together with his brethren, put themselves in jeopardy, and resisting the enemies of their nation did their nation great honour:
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:32 @ At which time Simon rose up, and fought for his nation, and spent much of his own substance, and armed the valiant men of his nation and gave them wages,
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:34 @ Moreover he fortified Joppa, which lieth upon the sea, and Gazera, that bordereth upon Azotus, where the enemies had dwelt before: but he placed Jews there, and furnished them with all things convenient for the reparation thereof.)
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:35 @ The people therefore sang the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people.
apocrypha_kjv@1Maccabees:14:36 @ For in his time things prospered in his hands, so that the heathen were taken out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem, who had made themselves a tower, out of which they issued, and polluted all about the sanctuary, and did much hurt in the holy place: ![[pBiblx2]](/img/menu.png)
