1 Maccabees 3:8-12 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. And he traveled through the cities of Judah, and he destroyed the impious out of them, and he turned wrath away from Israel.

9. And he was renowned, even to the utmost part of the earth, and he gathered together those who were perishing.

10. And so Apollonius gathered together the Gentiles, with a numerous and great army from Samaria, to make war against Israel.

11. And Judas knew about it, and he went forth to meet him. And he struck him and killed him. And many fell down wounded, and the rest fled away.

12. And he took away their spoils. And Judas took possession of the sword of Apollonius, and he fought with it during all his days.
