declare the hate that he bare unto the
Jews, sent above five hundred men of war to take him:

2 Mac 14:40
For he thought by taking him to do the Jews much hurt.

2 Mac 14:41
Now when the multitude would have taken the tower, and
violently broken into the outer door, and bade that fire should
be brought to burn it, he being ready to be taken on every side
fell upon his sword;

2 Mac 14:42
Choosing rather to die manfully, than to come into the hands
of the wicked, to be abused otherwise than beseemed his noble
birth:

2 Mac 14:43
But missing his stroke through haste, the multitude also
rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast
himself down manfully among the thickest of them.

2 Mac 14:44
But they quickly giving back, and a space being made, he fell

2 Mac 15:2
Nevertheless the Jews that were compelled to go with him

holiness above all other days.

Then the most ungracious wretch demanded, if there were a
Mighty one in heaven, that had commanded the sabbath day to be
kept.

2 Mac 15:4
And when they said, There is in heaven a living Lord, and
mighty, who commanded the seventh day to be kept:

2 Mac 15:5
