1 Maccabees 4:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ And such of the strangers as escaped, went and told Lysias all that had happened.

²⁷ And when he heard these things, he was amazed and discouraged: because things had not succeeded in Israel according to his mind, and as the king had commanded.

²⁸ So the year following Lysias gathered together threescore thousand chosen men, and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.
