2 Maccabees 14:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² But Judas ordered men to be ready in convenient places, lest some mischief might be suddenly practiced by the enemies: so they made an agreeable conference.

²³ And Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no wrong, but sent away the flocks of the multitudes that had been gathered together.

²⁴ And Judas was always dear to him from the heart, and he was well affected to the man.
