1macc 9:23
King James Version
“Now after the death of Judas the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and there arose up all such as wrought iniquity.”
Context
20Moreover they bewailed him, and all Israel made great lamentation for him, and mourned many days, saying,
21How is the valiant man fallen, that delivered Israel!
22As for the other things concerning Judas and his wars, and the noble acts which he did, and his greatness, they are not written: for they were very many.
23Now after the death of Judas the wicked began to put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and there arose up all such as wrought iniquity.
24In those days also was there a very great famine, by reason whereof the country revolted, and went with them.
25Then Bacchides chose the wicked men, and made them lords of the country.
26And they made enquiry and search for Judas’ friends, and brought them unto Bacchides, who took vengeance of them, and used them despitefully.
