1 Maccabees 3:4
3. So he gat his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike harness about him, and he made battles, protecting the host with his sword.4. In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.5. For He pursued the wicked, and sought them out, and burnt up those that vexed his people.
