1 Maccabees 3:5 Context
3So he gate his people great honor, and put on a brestplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harnesse about him, and he made battels, protecting the host with his sword. 4In his acts he was like a lyon, and like a lyons whelp roaring for his pray. 5For hee pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt vp those that vexed his people. 6Wherefore the wicked shrunke for feare of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled, because saluation prospered in his hand. 7He grieued also many kings, and made Iacob glad with his acts, and his memoriall is blessed for euer.
