1 Maccabees 8:9-11

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁹ And that they who were in Greece had a mind to go and to destroy them: and they had knowledge thereof,

¹⁰ And they sent a general against them, and fought with them, and many of them were slain, and they carried away their wives and their children captives, and spoiled them, and took possession of their land, and threw down their walls, and brought them to be their servants unto this day.

¹¹ And the other kingdoms, and islands, that at any time had resisted them, they had destroyed and brought under their power.
