1 And it came to passe, after that Alexander Philips

Greece, being gone out of the land of Cethim,
stroke Darius king of the Persians and the Medes: note
2 he made manie battels, and obteyned the munition
of al, and slewe the kinges of the earth:
3 and he passed
through euen to the ends of the earth: and tooke the spoiles of
the multitude of the Gentils: and the earth was silent in his
fight.
4 And he gathered powre, and an armie exceding strong:
and his hart was exalted and eleuated:
5 and he obtayned the
regions of the Gentils, and the tyrantes: and they were made
tributaries to him.
6 And after these thinges, he fel downe in
his bed, and he knew that he should dye.
7 And he called his
seruants the Nobles, that were brought vp with him from his
youth: & he note diuided his kingdom to them, when he yet liued.
8 And Alexander reigned twelue yeares, and he died.
9 And his
seruants possessed the kingdom, euerie one in his place:
10 and
they did al put crownes on them after his death, & their sonnes
after them manie yeares, & euils were multiplied in the earth note.
11 And there came forth of them a sinful roote Antiochus note Illustre,
the sonne of king Antiochus, that had bene at Rome an
-- --
hostage: and he reigned in note the hundreth and seuen and thirteth
yeare of the kingdom of the Greekes. note
12 In those dayes
there went forth of Israel wicked children, & perswaded manie,
saying: Let vs goe, and make a couenant with the Gentils,
that are about vs: because since we departed from them, manie
euils haue found vs.
13 And the talke semed good in their
eyes.
14 And some of the people determined, and went to the
king: and he gaue them leaue to doe the iustice of the Gentils.
15 And they built a schoole in Ierusalem, according to the
lawes of the Nations:
16 and they made to them selues prepuces,
and reuolted from the holie testament, and were ioyned to
the Nations, and were solde to doe euil. note
17 And the kingdom was prepared in the sight of Antiochus, &
he begane to reigne in the land of Egypt, note that he might reigne
ouer two kingdoms. note
18 And he entered into Ægypt with great
multitude, with chariots and elephants, and horsemen, and a
copious multitude of shippes:
19 And he made warre agaynst
Ptolomee the king of Egypt, and Ptolomee was afrayd at his
presence, and fled, and manie fel wounded.
20 And he tooke
the fensed cities in the land of Ægypt: and he tooke the
spoiles of the land of Ægypt. note
21 And Antiochus turned, after he strooke Ægypt in the
hundreth and three and fourtith yeare: and he went vp to
Israel, note
22 and went vp to Ierusalem with a great multitude.
23 And he entered into note the sanctification with pride, & tooke
the golden altar, and the candlesticke of light, and al the vessels
therof, and the table of proposition, and the libatories, and
the phials, and the litle morters of gold, and the vele, and the
crownes, and the golden ornament, that was in the face of the
temple: and he brake al into peeces.
24 And he tooke the siluer
and gold, and the desiderable vessels: and he tooke the hidden
treasures which he found: and carying away he departed into
his owne land.
25 And he made a slaughter of men, and spake
in great pride.
26 And great lamentation was made in Israel,
and in euerie place of theirs:
27 and the princes, and the ancients
mourned, and the youngmen, and the virgins were weakned,
and the beautifulnes of the wemen was changed.
28 Euerie
husband tooke lamentation: and the wemen that sate
in the mariage bed, mourned:
29 and the land was moued
vpon the inhabitants therein, & al the house of Iacob did put
on confusion.
30 And after two yeares of dayes the king sent
-- --
a prince of tributes into the cities of Iuda, & note he came to Ierusalem
with a great multitude.
31 And he spake vnto them
peaceable wordes in guile: and they beleued him.
32 And he
fel vpon the citie sodenly, and stroke it with a great plague,
and destroyed much people in Israel.
33 And he tooke the
spoiles of the citie, and burnt it with fyre, and destroyed the
houses therof, and the walles therof round about:
34 and they
led the wemen captiue, and the children, and the cattel they
possessed.
35 And they built note the citie of Dauid with a great wal,
and a strong, and with firme towers, and it was made a castel
for them:
36 and they placed there a note sinful nation, wicked
men, and they waxed strong therein: And they layd armour,
and victuals, and gathered together the spoiles of Ierusalem:
37 and layd them vp there: and they became a great snare.
38 And this was made for an embushment of the sanctification,
and to be an il deuil in Israel.
39 And they shed innocent
bloud round about the sanctification, and contaminated the
sanctification.
40 And the inhabitants of Ierusalem fled by
reason of them, and it became the habitation of strangers, and
she became stranger to her owne seede, and her children forsooke
her.
41 Her sanctification was desolate as a wildernes, her
festiual dayes were turned into mourning, her sabbaths into
reproche, her honours into naught.
42 According to her glorie
was her ignominie multiplied, and her highnes was turned into
mourning.
43 And king Antiochus note wrote to al his kingdom,
that al the people should be one: and euerie one should leaue
his owne law.
44 And al Nations consented according to the
word of king Antiochus.
45 and manie of Israel consented to
his seruice, and they sacrificed to idols, and defiled the sabbath.
46 And the king sent bookes by the handes of messengers into
Ierusalem, & into al the cities of Iuda: that they should folow
the law of the Nations of the earth,
47 and should prohibite
holocausts and sacrifices, & placations to be made in the temple
of God,
48 and should prohibite the sabbath to be celebrated,
and the solemne dayes.
49 And he commanded the holie
places to be defiled, and the holie people of Israel.
50 And he
commanded altars to be built, and temples, and idols, and
swines flesh to be immolated, and common beasts,
51 and to
leaue their children vncircumcised, and their soules to be contaminated
in al vncleannesses, and abominations, so that they
should forget the law, and should change al the iustifications
-- --
of God.
52 And whosoeuer had not done acording to the word
of king Antiochus, they should dye.
53 According to al these
words wrote he to al his kingdom: and he appoynted princes
ouer the people, that should force these thinges to be done.
54 And they commanded the cities of Iuda to sacrifice.
55 And manie of the people were gathered to them, they that
had forsaken the law of our Lord: and they did euils vpon the
land:
56 and they chased forth the people of Israel in hidden
corners, and in the secret places of fugitiues.
57 The fiftenth day
of the moneth Casleu, the hundreth fiue and fourtith yeare
king Antiochus note built the abominable idol of desolation vpon
the altar of God, and through out al the cities of Iuda round
about they builded altars:
58 and before the gates of houses,
and in the stretes they burnt frankincense, & sacrificed.
59 and
the bookes of the law of God they burnt with fyre, cutting
them:
60 and with whomsoeuer were found the bookes of
the testament of our Lord, and whosoeuer obserued the law
of our Lord, they murdered him, according to the edict of the
king.
61 In their powre did they these thinges to the people of
Israel, that was found in euerie moneth and moneth in the cities:
62 And the fiue and twentith day of the moneth they sacrificed
vpon the altar that was agaynst the altar.
63 And the
wemen that circumcided their children, were murdered according
to the commandment of king Antiochus,
64 and they
hang vp the children by the necks through out al their houses,
and those that had circumcided them, they murdered.
65 And
manie of the people of Israel determined with themselues, that
they would not eate the vncleane thinges: & they chose rather
to dye, then to be defiled with vncleane meates:
66 & they would
not breake the holie law of God, & they were murdered,
67 and
there was made great wrath vpon the people excedingly note.
