1 Maccabees 3:2-4
New Catholic Bible
2 All his brothers and all who had allied themselves to his father gave him their support, and they enthusiastically continued to fight for Israel.
3 He enhanced the glory of his people,
and like a giant he put on his breastplate.
He girded himself with the armor of warfare,
engaging in battles and protecting the camp by his sword.
4 In his exploits he was like a lion,
like a young lion roaring for prey.
