1 Maccabees 8:11DRA

9And that they who were in Greece had a mind to go and to destroy them: and they had knowledge thereof,

10And they sent a general against them, and fought with them, and many of them were slain, and they carried away their wives and their children captives, and spoiled them, and took possession of their land, and threw down their walls, and brought them to be their servants unto this day.

11And the other kingdoms, and islands, that at any time had resisted them, they had destroyed and brought under their power.

12But with their friends, and such as relied upon them, they kept amity, and had conquered kingdoms that were near, and that were far off: for all that heard their name, were afraid of them.

13That whom they had a mind to help to a kingdom, those reigned: and whom they would, they deposed from a kingdom: and they were greatly exalted.
