Why is 1 Maccabees shown with the King James Bible?
2 And he had five sons, Joannan, called Caddis:
4 Judas, who was called Maccabeus:
5 Eleazar, called Avaran: and Jonathan, whose surname was Apphus.
6 And when he saw the blasphemies that were committed in Juda and Jerusalem,
8 Her temple is become as a man without glory.
10 What nation hath not had a part in her kingdom and gotten of her spoils?
11 All her ornaments are taken away; of a free woman she is become a bondslave.
13 To what end therefore shall we live any longer?
14 Then Mattathias and his sons rent their clothes, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very sore.
16 And when many of Israel came unto them, Mattathias also and his sons came together.
20 Yet will I and my sons and my brethren walk in the covenant of our fathers.
21 God forbid that we should forsake the law and the ordinances.
26 Thus dealt he zealously for the law of God like as Phinees did unto Zambri the son of Salom.
28 So he and his sons fled into the mountains, and left all that ever they had in the city.
29 Then many that sought after justice and judgment went down into the wilderness, to dwell there:
35 So then they gave them the battle with all speed.
39 Now when Mattathias and his friends understood hereof, they mourned for them right sore.
43 Also all they that fled for persecution joined themselves unto them, and were a stay unto them.
45 Then Mattathias and his friends went round about, and pulled down the altars:
47 They pursued also after the proud men, and the work prospered in their hand.
52 Was not Abraham found faithful in temptation, and it was imputed unto him for righteousness?
53 Joseph in the time of his distress kept the commandment and was made lord of Egypt.
55 Jesus for fulfilling the word was made a judge in Israel.
56 Caleb for bearing witness before the congregation received the heritage of the land.
57 David for being merciful possessed the throne of an everlasting kingdom.
58 Elias for being zealous and fervent for the law was taken up into heaven.
59 Ananias, Azarias, and Misael, by believing were saved out of the flame.
60 Daniel for his innocency was delivered from the mouth of lions.
62 Fear not then the words of a sinful man: for his glory shall be dung and worms.
67 Take also unto you all those that observe the law, and avenge ye the wrong of your people.
68 Recompense fully the heathen, and take heed to the commandments of the law.
