3 Maccabees 5:33-35

Revised Standard Version

³³ So Hermon suffered an unexpected and dangerous threat, and his eyes wavered and his face fell. ³⁴ The king’s friends one by one sullenly slipped away and dismissed^[a] the assembled people, each to his own occupation. ³⁵ Then the Jews, upon hearing what the king had said, praised the manifest Lord God, King of kings, since this also was his aid which they had received.
