1 Maccabees 9:15-25 World English Bible (WEB)

15. and the right wing was discomfited by them, and he pursued after them to the mount Azotus.

16. And they that were on the left wing saw that the right wing was discomfited, and they turned and followed upon the footsteps of Judas and of those that were with him:

17. and the battle waxed sore, and many on both parts fell wounded to death.

18. And Judas fell, and the rest fled.

19. And Jonathan and Simon took Judas their brother, and buried him in the sepulchre of his fathers at Modin.

20. And they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, and said,

21. How is the mighty fallen, the savior of Israel!

22. And the rest of the acts of Judas, and his wars, and the valiant deeds which he did, and his greatness, they are not written; for they were exceeding many.

23. And it came to pass after the death of Judas, that the lawless put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and all they that wrought iniquity rose up

24. (in those days there was an exceeding great famine), and the country went over with them.

25. And Bacchides chose out the ungodly men, and made them lords of the country.
