1 Maccabees 13:27-29

Common English Bible

²⁷ Simon built a monument over the tomb of his father and his brothers. He made it high so that all might see it. It had polished stone at the front and back. ²⁸ He also set up seven pyramids, opposite each other, for his father and mother and four brothers. ²⁹ He devised an elaborate site for the pyramids, setting up great columns around them. On the columns, he put suits of armor for a permanent memorial. Beside the suits of armor, he carved ships so that all who sail the sea might see them.
