1 Maccabees 14:8DRA

6And he enlarged the bounds of his nation, and made himself master of the country.

7And he gathered together a great number of captives, and had the dominion of Gazara, and of Bethsura, and of the castle: and took away all uncleanness out of it and there was none that resisted him.

8And every man tilled his land with peace: and the land of Juda yielded her increase, and the trees of the fields their fruit.

9The ancient men sat all in the streets, and treated together of the good things of the land, and the young men put on them glory, and the robes of war.

10And he provided victuals for the cities, and he appointed that they should be furnished with ammunition, so that the fame of his glory was renowned even to the end of the earth.
