1 Maccabees 12:13-15

Common English Bible

¹³ As for us, we have experienced many trials and many wars. The kings around us have waged war against us. ¹⁴ We have not wanted to bother you and our other allies and friends about these wars ¹⁵ because we have the help that comes from heaven. So we have been delivered from our enemies, and they have been humbled.
