1 Maccabees 14:36-38

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁶ And in his days things prospered in his hands, so that the heathens were taken away out of their country, and they also that were in the city of David in Jerusalem in the castle, out of which they issued forth, and profaned all places round about the sanctuary, and did much evil to its purity.

³⁷ And he placed therein Jews for the defence of the country, and of the city, and he raised up the walls of Jerusalem.

³⁸ And king Demetrius confirmed him in the high priesthood.
