1 Maccabees 9:17-24
-
17 Whereupon there was a sore battle, insomuch as many were slain on both parts.
-
18 Judas also was killed, and the remnant fled.
-
19 THen Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers in Modin.
-
20 Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying,
-
21 How is the valiant man fallen, that delivered Israel!
-
22 As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not written: for they were very many.
-
23 Now after the death of Judas the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and there arose up all such as wrought iniquity.
-
24 In those days also was there a very great famine, by reason whereof the country revolted, and went with them.
