bes@Jdt:3:8 @ Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down their groves: for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god.

bes@Jdt:4:1 @ Now the children of Israel, that dwelt in Judea, heard all that Holofernes the chief captain of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians had done to the nations, and after what manner he had spoiled all their temples, and brought them to nought.

bes@Jdt:13:12 @ Now when the men of her city heard her voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they called the elders of the city.

bes@Jdt:14:3 @ Then they shall take their armour, and shall go into their camp, and raise up the captains of the army of Assur, and shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not find him: then fear shall fall upon them, and they shall flee before your face.

bes@Jdt:14:9 @ And when she had left off speaking, the people shouted with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their city.

bes@Jdt:14:12 @ But when the Assyrians saw them, they sent to their leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes, and to every one of their rulers.

bes@Jdt:14:19 @ When the captains of the Assyrians’ army heard these words, they rent their coats and their minds were wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and a very great noise throughout the camp.

bes@Jdt:15:4 @ Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, and Cola and to all the coasts of Israel, such as should tell the things that were done, and that all should rush forth upon their enemies to destroy them.

bes@Tob:11:4 @ And take in thine hand the gall of the fish. So they went their way, and the dog went after them.

bes@Tob:12:10 @ But they that sin are enemies to their own life.

bes@Tob:12:16 @ Then they were both troubled, and fell upon their faces: for they feared.

bes@Tob:13:11 @ Many nations shall come from far to the name of the Lord God with gifts in their hands, even gifts to the King of heaven; all generations shall praise thee with great joy.

bes@Tob:14:5 @ And that again God will have mercy on them, and bring them again into the land, where they shall build a temple, but not like to the first, until the time of that age be fulfilled; and afterward they shall return from all places of their captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, and the house of God shall be built in it for ever with a glorious building, as the prophets have spoken thereof.

bes@Tob:14:6 @ And all nations shall turn, and fear the Lord God truly, and shall bury their idols.

bes@Tob:14:13 @ Where he became old with honour, and he buried his father and mother in law honourably, and he inherited their substance, and his father Tobit’s.

bes@Sir:1:15 @ She hath built an everlasting foundation with men, and she shall continue with their seed.

bes@Sir:1:17 @ She filleth all their house with things desirable, and the garners with her increase.

bes@Sir:1:18 @ The fear of the Lord is a crown of wisdom, making peace and perfect health to flourish; both which are the gifts of God: and it enlargeth their rejoicing that love him.

bes@Sir:2:17 @ They that fear the Lord will prepare their hearts, and humble their souls in his sight,

bes@Sir:3:24 @ For many are deceived by their own vain opinion; and an evil suspicion hath overthrown their judgement.

bes@Sir:4:10 @ Be as a father unto the fatherless, and instead of an husband unto their mother: so shalt thou be as the son of the most High, and he shall love thee more than thy mother doth.

bes@Sir:7:23 @ Hast thou children? instruct them, and bow down their neck from their youth.

bes@Sir:7:24 @ Hast thou daughters? have a care of their body, and shew not thyself cheerful toward them.

bes@Sir:8:8 @ Despise not the discourse of the wise, but acquaint thyself with their proverbs: for of them thou shalt learn instruction, and how to serve great men with ease.

bes@Sir:8:9 @ Miss not the discourse of the elders: for they also learned of their fathers, and of them thou shalt learn understanding, and to give answer as need requireth.

bes@Sir:9:12 @ Delight not in the thing that the ungodly have pleasure in; but remember they shall not go unpunished unto their grave.

bes@Sir:10:14 @ The Lord hath cast down the thrones of proud princes, and set up the meek in their stead.

bes@Sir:10:15 @ The Lord hath plucked up the roots of the proud nations, and planted the lowly in their place.

bes@Sir:10:17 @ He took some of them away, and destroyed them, and hath made their memorial to cease from the earth.

bes@Sir:10:22 @ Whether he be rich, noble, or poor, their glory is the fear of the Lord.

bes@Sir:11:8 @ Answer not before thou hast heard the cause: neither interrupt men in the midst of their talk.

bes@Sir:11:16 @ Error and darkness had their beginning together with sinners: and evil shall wax old with them that glory therein.

bes@Sir:12:6 @ For the most High hateth sinners, and will repay vengeance unto the ungodly, and keepeth them against the mighty day of their punishment.

bes@Sir:16:3 @ Trust not thou in their life, neither respect their multitude: for one that is just is better than a thousand; and better it is to die without children, than to have them that are ungodly.

bes@Sir:16:7 @ He was not pacified toward the old giants, who fell away in the strength of their foolishness.

bes@Sir:16:8 @ Neither spared he the place where Lot sojourned, but abhorred them for their pride.

bes@Sir:16:9 @ He pitied not the people of perdition, who were taken away in their sins:

bes@Sir:16:10 @ Nor the six hundred thousand footmen, who were gathered together in the hardness of their hearts.

bes@Sir:16:27 @ He garnished his works for ever, and in his hand are the chief of them unto all generations: they neither labour, nor are weary, nor cease from their works.

bes@Sir:17:8 @ He set his eye upon their hearts, that he might shew them the greatness of his works.

bes@Sir:17:13 @ Their eyes saw the majesty of his glory, and their ears heard his glorious voice.

bes@Sir:17:15 @ Their ways are ever before him, and shall not be hid from his eyes.

bes@Sir:17:19 @ Therefore all their works are as the sun before him, and his eyes are continually upon their ways.

bes@Sir:17:20 @ None of their unrighteous deeds are hid from him, but all their sins are before the Lord

bes@Sir:17:23 @ Afterwards he will rise up and reward them, and render their recompence upon their heads.

bes@Sir:18:12 @ He saw and perceived their end to be evil; therefore he multiplied his compassion.

bes@Sir:21:17 @ They enquire at the mouth of the wise man in the congregation, and they shall ponder his words in their heart.

bes@Sir:21:26 @ The heart of fools is in their mouth: but the mouth of the wise is in their heart.

bes@Sir:22:9 @ If children live honestly, and have wherewithal, they shall cover the baseness of their parents.

bes@Sir:22:10 @ But children, being haughty, through disdain and want of nurture do stain the nobility of their kindred.

bes@Sir:23:1 @ O Lord, Father and Governor of all my whole life, leave me not to their counsels, and let me not fall by them.

bes@Sir:23:12 @ There is a word that is clothed about with death: God grant that it be not found in the heritage of Jacob; for all such things shall be far from the godly, and they shall not wallow in their sins.

bes@Sir:25:2 @ Three sorts of men my soul hateth, and I am greatly offended at their life: a poor man that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and an old adulterer that doateth.

bes@Sir:25:6 @ Much experience is the crown of old men, and the fear of God is their glory.

bes@Sir:26:21 @ So thy race which thou leavest shall be magnified, having the confidence of their good descent.

bes@Sir:27:9 @ The birds will resort unto their like; so will truth return unto them that practise in her.

bes@Sir:27:13 @ The discourse of fools is irksome, and their sport is the wantonness of sin.

bes@Sir:27:14 @ The talk of him that sweareth much maketh the hair stand upright; and their brawls make one stop his ears.

bes@Sir:27:15 @ The strife of the proud is bloodshedding, and their revilings are grievous to the ear.

bes@Sir:28:15 @ A backbiting tongue hath cast out virtuous women, and deprived them of their labours.

bes@Sir:29:18 @ Suretiship hath undone many of good estate, and shaken them as a wave of the sea: mighty men hath it driven from their houses, so that they wandered among strange nations.

bes@Sir:30:21 @ Give not over thy mind to heaviness, and afflict not thyself in thine own counsel. For better it is that thy children should seek to thee, than that thou shouldest stand to their courtesy.

bes@Sir:31:7 @ For dreams have deceived many, and they have failed that put their trust in them.

bes@Sir:31:13 @ The spirit of those that fear the Lord shall live; for their hope is in him that saveth them.

bes@Sir:31:16 @ For the eyes of the Lord are upon them that love him, he is their mighty protection and strong stay, a defence from heat, and a cover from the sun at noon, a preservation from stumbling, and an help from falling.

bes@Sir:31:21 @ The bread of the needy is their life: he that defraudeth him thereof is a man of blood.

bes@Sir:32:19 @ Till he have rendered to every man according to his deeds, and to the works of men according to their devices; till he have judged the cause of his people, and made them to rejoice in his mercy.

bes@Sir:34:6 @ Gold hath been the ruin of many, and their destruction was present.

bes@Sir:36:11 @ In much knowledge the Lord hath divided them, and made their ways diverse. (note:)(36:11AA)(:note) Though I was the last to wake up, yet I received their inheritance as from the beginning.

bes@Sir:36:12 @ Some of them hath he blessed and exalted and some of them he sanctified, and set near himself: but some of them hath he cursed and brought low, and turned out of their places. (note:)(36:12AA)(:note) O Lord, have mercy upon the people that is called by thy name, and upon Israel, whom thou hast named thy firstborn.

bes@Sir:38:7 @ With such doth he heal men, and taketh away their pains.

bes@Sir:38:13 @ There is a time when in their hands there is good success.

bes@Sir:38:25 @ How can he get wisdom that holdeth the plough, and that glorieth in the goad, that driveth oxen, and is occupied in their labours, and whose talk is of bullocks?

bes@Sir:38:31 @ All these trust to their hands: and every one is wise in his work.

bes@Sir:38:34 @ But they will maintain the state of the world, and all their desire is in the work of their craft.

bes@Sir:39:21 @ A man need not to say, What is this? wherefore is that? for he hath made all things for their uses.

bes@Sir:39:28 @ There be spirits that are created for vengeance, which in their fury lay on sore strokes; in the time of destruction they pour out their force, and appease the wrath of him that made them.

bes@Sir:39:31 @ They shall rejoice in his commandment, and they shall be ready upon earth, when need is; and when their time is come, they shall not transgress his word.

bes@Sir:40:1 @ Great travail is created for every man, and an heavy yoke is upon the sons of Adam, from the day that they go out of their mother’s womb, till the day that they return to the mother of all things.

bes@Sir:40:2 @ Their imagination of things to come, and the day of death, trouble their thoughts, and cause fear of heart;

bes@Sir:40:10 @ These things are created for the wicked, and for their sakes came the flood.

bes@Sir:41:6 @ The inheritance of sinners’ children shall perish, and their posterity shall have a perpetual reproach.

bes@Sir:41:11 @ The mourning of men is about their bodies: but an ill name of sinners shall be blotted out.

bes@Sir:42:18 @ He seeketh out the deep, and the heart, and considereth their crafty devices: for the Lord knoweth all that may be known, and he beholdeth the signs of the world.

bes@Sir:43:10 @ At the commandment of the Holy One they will stand in their order, and never faint in their watches.

bes@Sir:44:3 @ Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, men renowned for their power, giving counsel by their understanding, and declaring prophecies:

bes@Sir:44:4 @ Leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their knowledge of learning meet for the people, wise and eloquent are their instructions:

bes@Sir:44:6 @ Rich men furnished with ability, living peaceably in their habitations:

bes@Sir:44:7 @ All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times.

bes@Sir:44:8 @ There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported.

bes@Sir:44:9 @ And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them.

bes@Sir:44:11 @ With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant.

bes@Sir:44:12 @ Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes.

bes@Sir:44:13 @ Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out.

bes@Sir:44:14 @ Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.

bes@Sir:44:15 @ The people will tell of their wisdom, and the congregation will shew forth their praise.

bes@Sir:45:14 @ Their sacrifices shall be wholly consumed every day twice continually.

bes@Sir:45:26 @ God give you wisdom in your heart to judge his people in righteousness, that their good things be not abolished, and that their glory may endure for ever.

bes@Sir:46:1 @ Jesus the son a Nave was valiant in the wars, and was the successor of Moses in prophecies, who according to his name was made great for the saving of the elect of God, and taking vengeance of the enemies that rose up against them, that he might set Israel in their inheritance.

bes@Sir:46:6 @ And with hailstones of mighty power he made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, and in the descent of Beth-horon he destroyed them that resisted, that the nations might know all their strength, because he fought in the sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mighty One.

bes@Sir:46:11 @ And concerning the judges, every one by name, whose heart went not a whoring, nor departed from the Lord, let their memory be blessed.

bes@Sir:46:12 @ Let their bones flourish out of their place, and let the name of them that were honoured be continued upon their children.

bes@Sir:47:7 @ For he destroyed the enemies on every side, and brought to nought the Philistines his adversaries, and brake their horn in sunder unto this day.

bes@Sir:47:9 @ He set singers also before the altar, that by their voices they might make sweet melody, and daily sing praises in their songs.

bes@Sir:47:10 @ He beautified their feasts, and set in order the solemn times until the end, that they might praise his holy name, and that the temple might sound from morning.

bes@Sir:47:24 @ And their sins were multiplied exceedingly, that they were driven out of the land.

bes@Sir:48:2 @ He brought a sore famine upon them, and by his zeal he diminished their number.

bes@Sir:48:6 @ Who broughtest kings to destruction, and honourably men from their bed:

bes@Sir:48:10 @ Who wast ordained for reproofs in their times, to pacify the wrath of the Lord’s judgement, before it brake forth into fury, and to turn the heart of the father unto the son, and to restore the tribes of Jacob.

bes@Sir:48:15 @ For all this the people repented not, neither departed they from their sins, till they were spoiled and carried out of their land, and were scattered through all the earth: yet there remained a small people, and a ruler in the house of David:

bes@Sir:48:19 @ Then trembled their hearts and hands, and they were in pain, as women in travail.

bes@Sir:48:20 @ But they called upon the Lord which is merciful, and stretched out their hands toward him: and immediately the Holy One heard them out of heaven, and delivered them by the ministry of Esay.

bes@Sir:49:5 @ Therefore he gave their power unto others, and their glory to a strange nation.

bes@Sir:49:10 @ And of the twelve prophets let the memorial be blessed, and let their bones flourish again out of their place: for they comforted Jacob, and delivered them by assured hope.

bes@Sir:49:12 @ So was Jesus the son of Josedec: who in their time builded the house, and set up an holy temple to the Lord, which was prepared for everlasting glory.

bes@Sir:50:13 @ So were all the sons of Aaron in their glory, and the oblations of the Lord in their hands, before all the congregation of Israel.

bes@Sir:50:17 @ Then all the people together hasted, and fell down to the earth upon their faces to worship their Lord God Almighty, the most High.

bes@Sir:50:18 @ The singers also sang praises with their voices, with great variety of sounds was there made sweet melody.

bes@Bar:1:11 @ And pray for the life of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and for the life of Balthasar his son, that their days may be upon earth as the days of heaven:

bes@Bar:1:12 @ And the Lord will give us strength, and lighten our eyes, and we shall live under the shadow of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and under the shadow of Balthasar his son, and we shall serve them many days, and find favour in their sight.

bes@Bar:2:17 @ Open thine eyes, and behold; for the dead that are in the graves, whose souls are taken from their bodies, will give unto the Lord neither praise nor righteousness:

bes@Bar:2:24 @ But we would not hearken unto thy voice, to serve the king of Babylon: therefore hast thou made good the words that thou spakest by thy servants the prophets, namely, that the bones of our kings, and the bones of our fathers, should be taken out of their place.

bes@Bar:2:30 @ For I knew that they would not hear me, because it is a stiffnecked people: but in the land of their captivities they shall remember themselves.

bes@Bar:2:31 @ And shall know that I am the Lord their God: for I will give them an heart, and ears to hear:

bes@Bar:2:32 @ And they shall praise me in the land of their captivity, and think upon my name,

bes@Bar:2:33 @ And return from their stiff neck, and from their wicked deeds: for they shall remember the way of their fathers, which sinned before the Lord.

bes@Bar:2:34 @ And I will bring them again into the land which I promised with an oath unto their fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and they shall be lords of it: and I will increase them, and they shall not be diminished.

bes@Bar:2:35 @ And I will make an everlasting covenant with them to be their God, and they shall be my people: and I will no more drive my people of Israel out of the land that I have given them.

bes@Bar:3:4 @ O Lord Almighty, thou God of Israel, hear now the prayers of the dead Israelites, and of their children, which have sinned before thee, and not hearkened unto the voice of thee their God: for the which cause these plagues cleave unto us.

bes@Bar:3:17 @ They that had their pastime with the fowls of the air, and they that hoarded up silver and gold, wherein men trust, and made no end of their getting?

bes@Bar:3:19 @ They are vanished and gone down to the grave, and others are come up in their steads.

bes@Bar:3:21 @ Nor understood the paths thereof, nor laid hold of it: their children were far off from that way.

bes@Bar:3:28 @ But they were destroyed, because they had no wisdom, and perished through their own foolishness.

bes@Bar:3:34 @ The stars shined in their watches, and rejoiced: when he calleth them, they say, Here we be; and so with cheerfulness they shewed light unto him that made them.

bes@Bar:5:6 @ For they departed from thee on foot, and were led away of their enemies: but God bringeth them unto thee exalted with glory, as children of the kingdom.

bes@Bar:6:8 @ As for their tongue, it is polished by the workman, and they themselves are gilded and laid over with silver; yet are they but false, and cannot speak.

bes@Bar:6:9 @ And taking gold, as it were for a virgin that loveth to go gay, they make crowns for the heads of their gods.

bes@Bar:6:10 @ Sometimes also the priests convey from their gods gold and silver, and bestow it upon themselves.

bes@Bar:6:13 @ They wipe their faces because of the dust of the temple, when there is much upon them.

bes@Bar:6:17 @ For like as a vessel that a man useth is nothing worth when it is broken; even so it is with their gods: when they be set up in the temple, their eyes be full of dust through the feet of them that come in.

bes@Bar:6:18 @ And as the doors are made sure on every side upon him that offendeth the king, as being committed to suffer death: even so the priests make fast their temples with doors, with locks, and bars, lest their gods be spoiled with robbers.

bes@Bar:6:20 @ They are as one of the beams of the temple, yet they say their hearts are gnawed upon by things creeping out of the earth; and when they eat them and their clothes, they feel it not.

bes@Bar:6:21 @ Their faces are blacked through the smoke that cometh out of the temple.

bes@Bar:6:22 @ Upon their bodies and heads sit bats, swallows, and birds, and the cats also.

bes@Bar:6:28 @ As for the things that are sacrificed unto them, their priests sell and abuse; in like manner their wives lay up part thereof in salt; but unto the poor and impotent they give nothing of it.

bes@Bar:6:29 @ Menstruous women and women in childbed eat their sacrifices: by these things ye may know that they are no gods: fear them not.

bes@Bar:6:31 @ And the priests sit in their temples, having their clothes rent, and their heads and beards shaven, and nothing upon their heads.

bes@Bar:6:32 @ They roar and cry before their gods, as men do at the feast when one is dead.

bes@Bar:6:33 @ The priests also take off their garments, and clothe their wives and children.

bes@Bar:6:39 @ Their gods of wood, and which are overlaid with gold and silver, are like the stones that be hewn out of the mountain: they that worship them shall be confounded.

bes@Bar:6:54 @ Neither can they judge their own cause, nor redress a wrong, being unable: for they are as crows between heaven and earth.

bes@Bar:6:55 @ Whereupon when fire falleth upon the house of gods of wood, or laid over with gold or silver, their priests will flee away, and escape; but they themselves shall be burned asunder like beams.

bes@Bar:6:60 @ For sun, moon, and stars, being bright and sent to do their offices, are obedient.

bes@Bar:6:70 @ For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucumbers keepeth nothing: so are their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold.

bes@Bar:6:71 @ And likewise their gods of wood, and laid over with silver and gold, are like to a white thorn in an orchard, that every bird sitteth upon; as also to a dead body, that is east into the dark.

bes@1Macc:1:9 @ And after his death they all put crowns upon themselves; so did their sons after them many years: and evils were multiplied in the earth.

bes@1Macc:1:48 @ That they should also leave their children uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable with all manner of uncleanness and profanation:

bes@1Macc:1:55 @ And burnt incense at the doors of their houses, and in the streets.

bes@1Macc:1:58 @ Thus did they by their authority unto the Israelites every month, to as many as were found in the cities.

bes@1Macc:1:60 @ At which time according to the commandment they put to death certain women, that had caused their children to be circumcised.

bes@1Macc:1:61 @ And they hanged the infants about their necks, and rifled their houses, and slew them that had circumcised them.

bes@1Macc:2:14 @ Then Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore.

bes@1Macc:2:19 @ Then Mattathias answered and spake with a loud voice, Though all the nations that are under the king’s dominion obey him, and fall away every one from the religion of their fathers, and give consent to his commandments:

bes@1Macc:2:30 @ Both they, and their children, and their wives; and their cattle; because afflictions increased sore upon them.

bes@1Macc:2:38 @ So they rose up against them in battle on the sabbath, and they slew them, with their wives and children and their cattle, to the number of a thousand people.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:2:47 @ They pursued also after the proud men, and the work prospered in their hand.

bes@1Macc:2:51 @ Call to remembrance what acts our fathers did in their time; so shall ye receive great honour and an everlasting name.

bes@1Macc:2:61 @ And thus consider ye throughout all ages, that none that put their trust in him shall be overcome.

bes@1Macc:3:12 @ Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and Apollonius’ sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.

bes@1Macc:3:35 @ To wit, that he should send an army against them, to destroy and root out the strength of Israel, and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to take away their memorial from that place;

bes@1Macc:3:36 @ And that he should place strangers in all their quarters, and divide their land by lot.

bes@1Macc:3:40 @ So they went forth with all their power, and came and pitched by Emmaus in the plain country.

bes@1Macc: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;

bes@1Macc:3:45 @ 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.

bes@1Macc:3:47 @ Then they fasted that day, and put on sackcloth, and cast ashes upon their heads, and rent their clothes,

bes@1Macc:3:48 @ And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images.

bes@1Macc:3:49 @ They brought also the priests’ garments, and the firstfruits, and the tithes: and the Nazarites they stirred up, who had accomplished their days.

bes@1Macc:4:6 @ But as soon as it was day, Judas shewed himself in the plain with three thousand men, who nevertheless had neither armour nor swords to their minds.

bes@1Macc:4:8 @ Then said Judas to the men that were with him, Fear ye not their multitude, neither be ye afraid of their assault.

bes@1Macc:4:12 @ Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, and saw them coming over against them.

bes@1Macc:4:13 @ Wherefore they went out of the camp to battle; but they that were with Judas sounded their trumpets.

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc:4:29 @ So they came into Idumea, and pitched their tents at Bethsura, and Judas met them with ten thousand men.

bes@1Macc:4:31 @ Shut up this army in the hand of thy people Israel, and let them be confounded in their power and horsemen:

bes@1Macc:4:32 @ Make them to be of no courage, and cause the boldness of their strength to fall away, and let them quake at their destruction:

bes@1Macc:4:39 @ They rent their clothes, and made great lamentation, and cast ashes upon their heads,

bes@1Macc:4:40 @ And fell down flat to the ground upon their faces, and blew an alarm with the trumpets, and cried toward heaven.

bes@1Macc:4:55 @ Then all the people fell upon their faces, worshipping and praising the God of heaven, who had given them good success.

bes@1Macc:4:59 @ Moreover Judas and his brethren with the whole congregation of Israel ordained, that the days of the dedication of the altar should be kept in their season from year to year by the space of eight days, from the five and twentieth day of the month Casleu, with mirth and gladness.

bes@1Macc:5:3 @ Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea at Arabattine, because they besieged Gael: and he gave them a great overthrow, and abated their courage, and took their spoils.

bes@1Macc:5:6 @ Afterward he passed over to the children of Ammon, where he found a mighty power, and much people, with Timotheus their captain.

bes@1Macc:5:9 @ Then the heathen that were at Galaad assembled themselves together against the Israelites that were in their quarters, to destroy them; but they fled to the fortress of Dathema.

bes@1Macc:5:11 @ And they are preparing to come and take the fortress whereunto we are fled, Timotheus being captain of their host.

bes@1Macc:5:12 @ Come now therefore, and deliver us from their hands, for many of us are slain:

bes@1Macc:5:13 @ Yea, all our brethren that were in the places of Tobie are put to death: their wives and their children also they have carried away captives, and borne away their stuff; and they have destroyed there about a thousand men.

bes@1Macc:5:14 @ While these letters were yet reading, behold, there came other messengers from Galilee with their clothes rent, who reported on this wise,

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:5:23 @ And those that were in Galilee, and in Arbattis, with their wives and their children, and all that they had, took he away with him, and brought them into Judea with great joy.

bes@1Macc:5:25 @ Where they met with the Nabathites, who came unto them in a peaceable manner, and told them every thing that had happened to their brethren in the land of Galaad:

bes@1Macc:5:27 @ And that they were shut up in the rest of the cities of the country of Galaad, and that against to morrow they had appointed to bring their host against the forts, and to take them, and to destroy them all in one day.

bes@1Macc:5:28 @ Hereupon Judas and his host turned suddenly by the way of the wilderness unto Bosora; and when he had won the city, he slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burned the city with fire,

bes@1Macc:5:33 @ So he went forth behind them in three companies, who sounded their trumpets, and cried with prayer.

bes@1Macc:5:39 @ 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.

bes@1Macc:5:43 @ 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.

bes@1Macc:5:45 @ Then Judas gathered together all the Israelites that were in the country of Galaad, from the least unto the greatest, even their wives, and their children, and their stuff, a very great host, to the end they might come into the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:5:63 @ Howbeit the man Judas and his brethren were greatly renowned in the sight of all Israel, and of all the heathen, wheresoever their name was heard of;

bes@1Macc:5:67 @ At that time certain priests, desirous to shew their valour, were slain in battle, for that they went out to fight unadvisedly.

bes@1Macc:5:68 @ So Judas turned to Azotus in the land of the Philistines, and when he had pulled down their altars, and burned their carved images with fire, and spoiled their cities, he returned into the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:6:18 @ About this time they that were in the tower shut up the Israelites round about the sanctuary, and sought always their hurt, and the strengthening of the heathen.

bes@1Macc:6:25 @ Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against their borders.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:6:52 @ Whereupon they also made engines against their engines, and held them battle a long season.

bes@1Macc:6:53 @ Yet at the last, their vessels being without victuals, (for that it was the seventh year, and they in Judea that were delivered from the Gentiles, had eaten up the residue of the store;)

bes@1Macc:6:58 @ Now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation;

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:7:3 @ Wherefore, when he knew it, he said, Let me not see their faces.

bes@1Macc:7:5 @ There came unto him all the wicked and ungodly men of Israel, having Alcimus, who was desirous to be high priest, for their captain:

bes@1Macc:7:11 @ But they gave no heed to their words; for they saw that they were come with a great power.

bes@1Macc:7:17 @ The flesh of thy saints have they cast out, and their blood have they shed round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them.

bes@1Macc:7:22 @ And unto him resorted all such as troubled the people, who, after they had gotten the land of Juda into their power, did much hurt in Israel.

bes@1Macc:7:25 @ 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.

bes@1Macc:7:38 @ Be avenged of this man and his host, and let them fall by the sword: remember their blasphemies, and suffer them not to continue any longer.

bes@1Macc:7:44 @ Now when Nicanor’s host saw that he was slain, they cast away their weapons, and fled.

bes@1Macc:7:45 @ Then they pursued after them a day’s journey, from Adasa unto Gazera, sounding an alarm after them with their trumpets.

bes@1Macc:8:2 @ And that they were men of great valour. It was told him also of their wars and noble acts which they had done among the Galatians, and how they had conquered them, and brought them under tribute;

bes@1Macc:8:4 @ And that by their policy and patience they had conquered all the place, though it were very far from them; and the kings also that came against them from the uttermost part of the earth, till they had discomfited them, and given them a great overthrow, so that the rest did give them tribute every year:

bes@1Macc:8:10 @ And that they, having knowledge thereof sent against them a certain captain, and fighting with them slew many of them, and carried away captives their wives and their children, and spoiled them, and took possession of their lands, and pulled down their strong holds, and brought them to be their servants unto this day:

bes@1Macc:8:11 @ It was told him besides, how they destroyed and brought under their dominion all other kingdoms and isles that at any time resisted them;

bes@1Macc:8:12 @ But with their friends and such as relied upon them they kept amity: and that they had conquered kingdoms both far and nigh, insomuch as all that heard of their name were afraid of them:

bes@1Macc:8:16 @ And that they committed their government to one man every year, who ruled over all their country, and that all were obedient to that one, and that there was neither envy nor emulation among them.

bes@1Macc:8:24 @ If there come first any war upon the Romans or any of their confederates throughout all their dominion,

bes@1Macc:8:25 @ The people of the Jews shall help them, as the time shall be appointed, with all their heart:

bes@1Macc:8:26 @ Neither shall they give any thing unto them that make war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, or ships, as it hath seemed good unto the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants without taking any thing therefore.

bes@1Macc:8:27 @ In the same manner also, if war come first upon the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them with all their heart, according as the time shall be appointed them:

bes@1Macc:8:28 @ Neither shall victuals be given to them that take part against them, or weapons, or money, or ships, as it hath seemed good to the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants, and that without deceit.

bes@1Macc:8:30 @ Howbeit if hereafter the one party or the other shall think to meet to add or diminish any thing, they may do it at their pleasures, and whatsoever they shall add or take away shall be ratified.

bes@1Macc:9:2 @ 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.

bes@1Macc:9:11 @ With that the host of Bacchides removed out of their tents, and stood over against them, their horsemen being divided into two troops, and their slingers and archers going before the host and they that marched in the foreward were all mighty men.

bes@1Macc:9:12 @ As for Bacchides, he was in the right wing: so the host drew near on the two parts, and sounded their trumpets.

bes@1Macc:9:13 @ They also of Judas’ side, even they sounded their trumpets also, so that the earth shook at the noise of the armies, and the battle continued from morning till night.

bes@1Macc:9:19 @ Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin.

bes@1Macc:9:23 @ Now after the death of Judas the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and there arose up all such as wrought iniquity.

bes@1Macc:9:33 @ Then Jonathan, and Simon his brother, and all that were with him, perceiving that, fled into the wilderness of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the pool Asphar.

bes@1Macc:9:35 @ Now Jonathan had sent his brother John, a captain of the people, to pray his friends the Nabathites, that they might leave with them their carriage, which was much.

bes@1Macc:9:36 @ But the children of Jambri came out of Medaba, and took John, and all that he had, and went their way with it.

bes@1Macc:9:38 @ Therefore they remembered John their brother, and went up, and hid themselves under the covert of the mountain:

bes@1Macc:9:39 @ Where they lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, there was much ado and great carriage: and the bridegroom came forth, and his friends and brethren, to meet them with drums, and instruments of musick, and many weapons.

bes@1Macc:9:40 @ Then Jonathan and they that were with him rose up against them from the place where they lay in ambush, and made a slaughter of them in such sort, as many fell down dead, and the remnant fled into the mountain, and they took all their spoils.

bes@1Macc:9:41 @ Thus was the marriage turned into mourning, and the noise of their melody into lamentation.

bes@1Macc:9:42 @ So when they had avenged fully the blood of their brother, they turned again to the marsh of Jordan.

bes@1Macc:9:60 @ Then removed he, and came with a great host, and sent letters privily to his adherents in Judea, that they should take Jonathan and those that were with him: howbeit they could not, because their counsel was known unto them.

bes@1Macc:9:66 @ And he smote Odonarkes and his brethren, and the children of Phasiron in their tent.

bes@1Macc:9:72 @ 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.

bes@1Macc:10:9 @ Whereupon they of the tower delivered their hostages unto Jonathan, and he delivered them unto their parents.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:10:24 @ I also will write unto them words of encouragement, and promise them dignities and gifts, that I may have their aid.

bes@1Macc:10:33 @ Moreover I freely set at liberty every one of the Jews, that were carried captives out of the land of Judea into any part of my kingdom, and I will that all my officers remit the tributes even of their cattle.

bes@1Macc:10:37 @ And of them some shall be placed in the king’s strong holds, of whom also some shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, which are of trust: and I will that their overseers and governors be of themselves, and that they live after their own laws, even as the king hath commanded in the land of Judea.

bes@1Macc:10:55 @ Then Ptolemee the king gave answer, saying, Happy be the day wherein thou didst return into the land of thy fathers, and satest in the throne of their kingdom.

bes@1Macc:10:60 @ 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.

bes@1Macc:10:72 @ Ask and learn who I am, and the rest that take our part, and they shall tell thee that thy foot is not able to stand before our face; for thy fathers have twice been put to flight in their own land.

bes@1Macc:10:83 @ The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to Azotus, and went into Bethdagon, their idol’s temple, for safety.

bes@1Macc:10:84 @ But Jonathan set fire on Azotus, and the cities round about it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with them that were fled into it, he burned with fire.

bes@1Macc:11:12 @ Wherefore he took his daughter from him, and gave her to Demetrius, and forsook Alexander, so that their hatred was openly known.

bes@1Macc:11:21 @ Then came ungodly persons, who hated their own people, went unto the king, and told him that Jonathan besieged the tower,

bes@1Macc:11:33 @ We are determined to do good to the people of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep covenants with us, because of their good will toward us.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:11:44 @ Upon this Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto Antioch: and when they came to the king, the king was very glad of their coming.

bes@1Macc:11:49 @ So when they of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would, their courage was abated: wherefore they made supplication to the king, and cried, saying,

bes@1Macc:11:51 @ With that they cast away their weapons, and made peace; and the Jews were honoured in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm; and they returned to Jerusalem, having great spoils.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:11:69 @ So when they that lay in ambush rose out of their places and joined battle, all that were of Jonathan’s side fled;

bes@1Macc:11:73 @ Now when his own men that were fled saw this, they turned again unto him, and with him pursued them to Cades, even unto their own tents, and there they camped.

bes@1Macc:12:6 @ Jonathan the high priest, and the elders of the nation, and the priests, and the other of the Jews, unto the Lacedemonians their brethren send greeting:

bes@1Macc:12:26 @ He sent spies also unto their tents, who came again, and told him that they were appointed to come upon them in the night season.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:12:31 @ Wherefore Jonathan turned to the Arabians, who were called Zabadeans, and smote them, and took their spoils.

bes@1Macc:12:51 @ They therefore that followed upon them, perceiving that they were ready to fight for their lives, turned back again.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:13:7 @ Now as soon as the people heard these words, their spirit revived.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc:13:42 @ Then the people of Israel began to write in their instruments and contracts, In the first year of Simon the high priest, the governor and leader of the Jews.

bes@1Macc:13:45 @ Insomuch as the people of the city rent their clothes, and climbed upon the walls with their wives and children, and cried with a loud voice, beseeching Simon to grant them peace.

bes@1Macc:14:8 @ Then did they till their ground in peace, and the earth gave her increase, and the trees of the field their fruit.

bes@1Macc:14:21 @ The ambassadors that were sent unto our people certified us of your glory and honour: wherefore we were glad of their coming,

bes@1Macc:14:23 @ And it pleased the people to entertain the men honourably, and to put the copy of their ambassage in publick records, to the end the people of the Lacedemonians might have a memorial thereof: furthermore we have written a copy thereof unto Simon the high priest.

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc:14:30 @ (For after that Jonathan, having gathered his nation together, and been their high priest, was added to his people,

bes@1Macc:14:31 @ Their enemies prepared to invade their country, that they might destroy it, and lay hands on the sanctuary:

bes@1Macc: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.

bes@1Macc: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:

bes@1Macc:14:40 @ For he had heard say, that the Romans had called the Jews their friends and confederates and brethren; and that they had entertained the ambassadors of Simon honourably;

bes@1Macc:14:41 @ Also that the Jews and priests were well pleased that Simon should be their governor and high priest for ever, until there should arise a faithful prophet;

bes@1Macc:14:42 @ Moreover that he should be their captain, and should take charge of the sanctuary, to set them over their works, and over the country, and over the armour, and over the fortresses, that, I say, he should take charge of the sanctuary;

bes@1Macc:15:19 @ We thought it good therefore to write unto the kings and countries, that they should do them no harm, nor fight against them, their cities, or countries, nor yet aid their enemies against them.

bes@1Macc:15:21 @ If therefore there be any pestilent fellows, that have fled from their country unto you, deliver them unto Simon the high priest, that he may punish them according to their own law.

bes@1Macc:16:16 @ So when Simon and his sons had drunk largely, Ptolemee and his men rose up, and took their weapons, and came upon Simon into the banqueting place, and slew him, and his two sons, and certain of his servants.

bes@2Macc:1:16 @ And opening a privy door of the roof, they threw stones like thunderbolts, and struck down the captain, hewed them in pieces, smote off their heads and cast them to those that were without.

bes@2Macc:2:2 @ And how that the prophet, having given them the law, charged them not to forget the commandments of the Lord, and that they should not err in their minds, when they see images of silver and gold, with their ornaments.

bes@2Macc:2:3 @ And with other such speeches exhorted he them, that the law should not depart from their hearts.

bes@2Macc:2:21 @ And the manifest signs that came from heaven unto those that behaved themselves manfully to their honour for Judaism: so that, being but a few, they overcame the whole country, and chased barbarous multitudes,

bes@2Macc:3:2 @ It came to pass that even the kings themselves did honour the place, and magnify the temple with their best gifts;

bes@2Macc:3:6 @ And told him that the treasury in Jerusalem was full of infinite sums of money, so that the multitude of their riches, which did not pertain to the account of the sacrifices, was innumerable, and that it was possible to bring all into the king’s hand.

bes@2Macc:3:15 @ But the priests, prostrating themselves before the altar in their priests’ vestments, called unto heaven upon him that made a law concerning things given to he kept, that they should safely be preserved for such as had committed them to be kept.

bes@2Macc:3:18 @ Others ran flocking out of their houses to the general supplication, because the place was like to come into contempt.

bes@2Macc:3:19 @ And the women, girt with sackcloth under their breasts, abounded in the streets, and the virgins that were kept in ran, some to the gates, and some to the walls, and others looked out of the windows.

bes@2Macc:3:20 @ And all, holding their hands toward heaven, made supplication.

bes@2Macc:4:3 @ But when their hatred went so far, that by one of Simon’s faction murders were committed,

bes@2Macc:4:15 @ Not setting by the honours of their fathers, but liking the glory of the Grecians best of all.

bes@2Macc:4:16 @ By reason whereof sore calamity came upon them: for they had them to be their enemies and avengers, whose custom they followed so earnestly, and unto whom they desired to be like in all things.

bes@2Macc:4:47 @ Insomuch that he discharged Menelaus from the accusations, who notwithstanding was cause of all the mischief: and those poor men, who, if they had told their cause, yea, before the Scythians, should have been judged innocent, them he condemned to death.

bes@2Macc:5:9 @ Thus he that had driven many out of their country perished in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and thinking there to find succour by reason of his kindred:

bes@2Macc:5:24 @ He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay all those that were in their best age, and to sell the women and the younger sort:

bes@2Macc:6:1 @ Not long after this the king sent an old man of Athens to compel the Jews to depart from the laws of their fathers, and not to live after the laws of God:

bes@2Macc:6:8 @ 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:

bes@2Macc:6:10 @ For there were two women brought, who had circumcised their children; whom when they had openly led round about the city, the babes handing at their breasts, they cast them down headlong from the wall.

bes@2Macc:6:14 @ For not as with other nations, whom the Lord patiently forbeareth to punish, till they be come to the fulness of their sins, so dealeth he with us,

bes@2Macc:7:1 @ It came to pass also, that seven brethren with their mother were taken, and compelled by the king against the law to taste swine’s flesh, and were tormented with scourges and whips.

bes@2Macc:7:6 @ The Lord God looketh upon us, and in truth hath comfort in us, as Moses in his song, which witnessed to their faces, declared, saying, And he shall be comforted in his servants.

bes@2Macc:8:1 @ 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.

bes@2Macc:8:15 @ And if not for their own sakes, yet for the covenants he had made with their fathers, and for his holy and glorious name’s sake, by which they were called.

bes@2Macc:8:17 @ And to set before their eyes the injury that they had unjustly done to the holy place, and the cruel handling of the city, whereof they made a mockery, and also the taking away of the government of their forefathers:

bes@2Macc:8:18 @ For they, said he, trust in their weapons and boldness; but our confidence is in the Almighty who at a beck can cast down both them that come against us, and also all the world.

bes@2Macc:8:19 @ Moreover, he recounted unto them what helps their forefathers had found, and how they were delivered, when under Sennacherib an hundred fourscore and five thousand perished.

bes@2Macc:8:24 @ And by the help of the Almighty they slew above nine thousand of their enemies, and wounded and maimed the most part of Nicanor’s host, and so put all to flight;

bes@2Macc:8:25 @ And took their money that came to buy them, and pursued them far: but lacking time they returned:

bes@2Macc:8:27 @ So when they had gathered their armour together, and spoiled their enemies, they occupied themselves about the sabbath, yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the Lord, who had preserved them unto that day, which was the beginning of mercy distilling upon them.

bes@2Macc:8:28 @ And after the sabbath, when they had given part of the spoils to the maimed, and the widows, and orphans, the residue they divided among themselves and their servants.

bes@2Macc:8:31 @ And when they had gathered their armour together, they laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the remnant of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem.

bes@2Macc:8:33 @ Furthermore at such time as they kept the feast for the victory in their country they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire upon the holy gates, who had fled into a little house; and so he received a reward meet for his wickedness.

bes@2Macc:8:36 @ Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Romans their tribute by means of captives in Jerusalem, told abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that he gave them.

bes@2Macc:9:2 @ 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.

bes@2Macc:9:15 @ And as touching the Jews, whom he had judged not worthy so much as to be buried, but to be cast out with their children to be devoured of the fowls and wild beasts, he would make them all equals to the citizens of Athens:

bes@2Macc:10:15 @ And therewithal the Idumeans, having gotten into their hands the most commodious holds, kept the Jews occupied, and receiving those that were banished from Jerusalem, they went about to nourish war.

bes@2Macc:10:16 @ Then they that were with Maccabeus made supplication, and besought God that he would be their helper; and so they ran with violence upon the strong holds of the Idumeans,

bes@2Macc:10:17 @ And assaulting them strongly, they won the holds, and kept off all that fought upon the wall, and slew all that fell into their hands, and killed no fewer than twenty thousand.

bes@2Macc:10:21 @ But when it was told Maccabeus what was done, he called the governors of the people together, and accused those men, that they had sold their brethren for money, and set their enemies free to fight against them.

bes@2Macc:10:25 @ But when he drew near, they that were with Maccabeus turned themselves to pray unto God, and sprinkled earth upon their heads, and girded their loins with sackcloth,

bes@2Macc:10:26 @ And fell down at the foot of the altar, and besought him to be merciful to them, and to be an enemy to their enemies, and an adversary to their adversaries, as the law declareth.

bes@2Macc:10:27 @ So after the prayer they took their weapons, and went on further from the city: and when they drew near to their enemies, they kept by themselves.

bes@2Macc:10:28 @ Now the sun being newly risen, they joined both together; the one part having together with their virtue their refuge also unto the Lord for a pledge of their success and victory: the other side making their rage leader of their battle

bes@2Macc:11:7 @ Then Maccabeus himself first of all took weapons, exhorting the other that they would jeopard themselves together with him to help their brethren: so they went forth together with a willing mind.

bes@2Macc:11:10 @ Thus they marched forward in their armour, having an helper from heaven: for the Lord was merciful unto them

bes@2Macc:11:11 @ And giving a charge upon their enemies like lions, they slew eleven thousand footmen, and sixteen hundred horsemen, and put all the other to flight.

bes@2Macc:11:24 @ We understand also that the Jews would not consent to our father, for to be brought unto the custom of the Gentiles, but had rather keep their own manner of living: for the which cause they require of us, that we should suffer them to live after their own laws.

bes@2Macc:11:25 @ Wherefore our mind is, that this nation shall be in rest, and we have determined to restore them their temple, that they may live according to the customs of their forefathers.

bes@2Macc:11:26 @ Thou shalt do well therefore to send unto them, and grant them peace, that when they are certified of our mind, they may be of good comfort, and ever go cheerfully about their own affairs.

bes@2Macc:11:31 @ And the Jews shall use their own kind of meats and laws, as before; and none of them any manner of ways shall be molested for things ignorantly done.

bes@2Macc:12:1 @ When these covenants were made, Lysias went unto the king, and the Jews were about their husbandry.

bes@2Macc:12:3 @ The men of Joppa also did such an ungodly deed: they prayed the Jews that dwelt among them to go with their wives and children into the boats which they had prepared, as though they had meant them no hurt.

bes@2Macc:12:10 @ Now when they were gone from thence nine furlongs in their journey toward Timotheus, no fewer than five thousand men on foot and five hundred horsemen of the Arabians set upon him.

bes@2Macc:12:12 @ Then Judas, thinking indeed that they would be profitable in many things, granted them peace: whereupon they shook hands, and so they departed to their tents.

bes@2Macc:12:22 @ But when Judas his first band came in sight, the enemies, being smitten with fear and terror through the appearing of him who seeth all things, fled amain, one running into this way, another that way, so as that they were often hurt of their own men, and wounded with the points of their own swords.

bes@2Macc:12:25 @ So when he had assured them with many words that he would restore them without hurt, according to the agreement, they let him go for the saving of their brethren.

bes@2Macc:12:30 @ But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and entreated them kindly in the time of their adversity;

bes@2Macc:12:34 @ And it happened that in their fighting together a few of the Jews were slain.

bes@2Macc:12:36 @ Now when they that were with Gorgias had fought long, and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that he would shew himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.

bes@2Macc:12:39 @ And upon the day following, as the use had been, Judas and his company came to take up the bodies of them that were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers’ graves.

bes@2Macc:12:42 @ Betook themselves unto prayer, and besought him that the sin committed might wholly be put out of remembrance. Besides, that noble Judas exhorted the people to keep themselves from sin, forsomuch as they saw before their eyes the things that came to pass for the sins of those that were slain.

bes@2Macc:13:10 @ Which things when Judas perceived, he commanded the multitude to call upon the Lord night and day, that if ever at any other time, he would now also help them, being at the point to be put from their law, from their country, and from the holy temple:

bes@2Macc:13:22 @ The king treated with them in Bethsura the second time, gave his hand, took their’s, departed, fought with Judas, was overcome;

bes@2Macc:13:25 @ Came to Ptolemais: the people there were grieved for the covenants; for they stormed, because they would make their covenants void:

bes@2Macc:14:3 @ Now one Alcimus, who had been high priest, and had defiled himself wilfully in the times of their mingling with the Gentiles, seeing that by no means he could save himself, nor have any more access to the holy altar,
