h the sword of them that love thee, and let
all those that know thy name praise thee with thanksgiving.

1 Mac 4:34
So they joined battle; and there were slain of the host of
Lysias about five thousand men, even before them were they
slain.

1 Mac 4:35
Now when Lysias saw his army put to flight, and the manliness
of Judas' soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or
die valiantly, he went into Antiochia, and gathered together a
company of strangers, and having made his army greater than it
was, he purposed to come again into Judea.

1 Mac 4:36
Then said Judas and his brethren, Behold, our enemies are
discomfited: let us go up to cleanse and dedicate the sanctuary.

1 Mac 4:37
Upon this all the host assembled themselves together, and
went up into mount Sion.

1 Mac 4:38
And when they saw the sanctuary desolate, and the altar

1 Mac 4:46
And laid up the stones in the mountain of the temple in a

1 Mac 4:49
They made also new holy vessels, and into the temple they
