1. Then his son Judas, called Machabeus, rose up in his stead.
2. And all his brethren helped him, and all they that had joined themselves to his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.
3. And he got his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike armour about him in battles, and protected the camp with his sword.
4. In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.
