1macc 6:5
King James Version
“Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:”
Context
2And that there was in it a very rich temple, wherein were coverings of gold, and breastplates, and shields, which Alexander, son of Philip, the Macedonian king, who reigned first among the Grecians, had left there.
3Wherefore he came and sought to take the city, and to spoil it; but he was not able, because they of the city, having had warning thereof,
4Rose up against him in battle: so he fled, and departed thence with great heaviness, and returned to Babylon.
5Moreover there came one who brought him tidings into Persia, that the armies, which went against the land of Judea, were put to flight:
6And that Lysias, who went forth first with a great power was driven away of the Jews; and that they were made strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils, which they had gotten of the armies, whom they had destroyed:
7Also that they had pulled down the abomination, which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls, as before, and his city Bethsura.
8Now when the king heard these words, he was astonished and sore moved: whereupon he laid him down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he looked for.
