1 Maccabees 6:5-7

Wycliffe Bible

⁵ And there came one, that told to him in Persia, that the hosts that were in the land of Judea were driven (away),

⁶ and that Lysias went with strong virtue in, (or with the great power of), the first, or (the) best men, and was driven (away) from the face of (the) Jews, and (that) they waxed strong in armours, and strengths (and that they grew strong in arms, or weapons, and strongholds), and many preys, which they took of (or from) (the) tents, either (the) hosts, that they slew;

⁷ and that they destroyed the abomination, which he builded on the altar that was in Jerusalem, and they compassed with high walls the hallowing (or the Temple), as before, but and Bethsura, his city.
