2 Maccabees 2:21-23

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²¹ As also the wars against Antiochus the Illustrious, and his son Eupator:

²² And the manifestations that came from heaven to them, that behaved themselves manfully on the behalf of the Jews, so that, being but a few, they made themselves masters of the whole country, and put to flight; the barbarous multitude:

²³ And recovered again the most renowned temple in all the world, and delivered the city, and restored the laws that were abolished, the Lord with all clemency shewing mercy to them.
