1 Maccabees 7:7-9

Wycliffe Bible

⁷ Now therefore send thou a man, to whom thou believest, that he go, and see all the destroying that he hath done to us, and to (the) countries of the king; and (then) he punish all (the) friends of him, and (the) helpers of them.

⁸ And the king chose of his friends Bacchides, that was lord over the great flood (or beyond the Euphrates) in the realm, and true to the king,

⁹ and [he] sent him, for to see the destroying that Judas did; and he ordained unfaithful [or unpious] Alcimus into (the) priesthood, and bade (or commanded) him (to) do vengeance on the sons of Israel.
