1 Maccabees 14:3-5
Common English Bible
3 The general went and defeated the army of Demetrius. He arrested Demetrius and took him to Arsaces, who put him under guard.
Eulogy of Simon
4 The land of Judah enjoyed peace all the days of Simon.
He sought what was good for his nation.
His rule was agreeable to them,
as was the honor shown him
all his days.
5 His crowning achievement
was to take Joppa for a harbor,
opening the way to the sea
with its islands.
