1 Maccabees 2:65
64. Wherefore, ye my sons, be valiant and shew yourselves men in the behalf of the law; for by it shall ye obtain glory.65. And behold, I know that your brother Simon is a man of counsel, give ear unto him alway: he shall be a father unto you.66. As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been mighty and strong, even from his youth up: let him be your captain, and fight the battle of the people.
