1 Maccabees 4:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ And he said to the people: Be not greedy of the spoils: for there is war before us:

¹⁸ And Gorgias and his army are near us in the mountain: but stand ye now against our enemies, and overthrow them, and you shall take the spoils afterwards with safety.

¹⁹ And as Judas was speaking these words, behold part of them appeared looking forth from the mountain.
