1 Maccabees 3:2-4
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
2 All his brothers and all who had joined his father helped him; they gladly fought for Israel.
3 He extended the glory of his people.
Like a giant he put on his breastplate;
he girded on his armor of war and waged battles,
protecting the host by his sword.
4 He was like a lion in his deeds,
like a lion’s cub roaring for prey.
