1 Maccabees 1:2-4

1. 2 And made many wars, and won many strong holds, and slew the kings of the earth,

2. 3 And went through to the ends of the earth, and took spoils of many nations, insomuch that the earth was quiet before him; whereupon he was exalted and his heart was lifted up.

3. 4 And he gathered a mighty strong host and ruled over countries, and nations, and kings, who became tributaries unto him.
