1 Maccabees 12:51 Context
49Then sent Tryphon an hoste of footmen, and horsemen into Galile, and into the great plaine, to destroy all Ionathans company. 50But when they knew that Ionathan and they that were with him were taken and slaine, they encouraged one another, and went close together, prepared to fight. 51They therfore that followed vpon them, perceiuing þt they were ready to fight for their liues, turned back againe. 52Whereupon they all came into the land of Iudea peaceably, and there they bewailed Ionathan & them that were with him, & they were sore afraid, wherfore all Israel made great lamentation. 53Then all the heathen that were round about them, sought to destroy them. For, said they, they haue no captaine, nor any to helpe them. Now therfore let vs make war vpon them, & take away their memorial frō amongst men.
