also, equal in spoils with themselves. 2 Mac 8:31 And when they had gathered their armour together, they laid them up all carefully in convenient places, and the remnant of the spoils they brought to Jerusalem. 2 Mac 8:32 They slew also Philarches, that wicked person, who was with Timotheus, and had annoyed the Jews many ways. 2 Mac 8:33 Furthermore at such time as they kept the feast for the victory in their country they burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire upon the holy gates, who had fled into a little house; and so he received a reward meet for his wickedness. 2 Mac 8:34 As for that most ungracious Nicanor, who had brought a thousand merchants to buy the Jews, 2 Mac 8:35 He was through the help of the Lord brought down by them, of whom he made least account; and putting off his glorious apparel, and discharging his company, he came like a fugitive servant through the midland unto Antioch having very great dishonour, for that his host was destroyed. 2 Mac 8:36 Thus he, that took upon him to make good to the Romans their tribute by means of captives in Jerusalem, told abroad, that the Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore they could not be hurt, because they followed the laws that he gave them. 2 Mac 9:1 About that time came Antiochus with dishonour out of the country of Persia 2 Mac 9:2 For he had entered the city called Persepolis, and went about to rob the temple, and to hold the city; whereupon the multitude running to defend themselves with their weapons put them to flight; and so it happened, that Antiochus being put to flight of the inhabitants returned with shame. 2 Mac 9:3 Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was brought him what had happened unto Nicanor and Timotheus. 2 Mac 9:4 Then swelling with anger, he thought to avenge upon the Jews the disgrace done unto him by those that made him flee.
