1 Maccabees 8:24-26

Common English Bible

²⁴ If war comes first to Rome or to any of their allies throughout their territory, ²⁵ the Jewish nation should act as their allies wholeheartedly, as the occasion may indicate to them. ²⁶ They will not give or supply grain, weapons, money, or ships to an enemy that makes war on them. This is Rome’s decision. And they will keep their obligations without compensation.
