1 Maccabees 3:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

3 Then his son Judas, called Machabeus, rose up in his stead.

² And all his brethren helped him, and all they that had joined themselves to his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.

³ And he got his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike armour about him in battles, and protected the camp with his sword.
