1 Maccabees 4:35-37

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁵ And when Lysias saw that his men were put to flight, and how bold the Jews were, and that they were ready either to live, or to die manfully, he went to Antioch, and chose soldiers, that they might come again into Judea with greater numbers.

³⁶ Then Judas, and his brethren said: Behold our enemies are discomfited: let us go up now to cleanse the holy places and to repair them.

³⁷ And all the army assembled together, and they went up into mount Sion.
