1 Maccabees 3:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ And the fear of Judas and of his brethren, and the dread of them fell upon all the nations round about them.

²⁶ And his fame came to the king, and all nations told of the battles of Judas.

²⁷ Now when king Antiochus heard these words, he was angry in his mind: and he sent and gathered the forces of all his kingdom, an exceeding strong army.
