King James Version
“So when he was there, and called them of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them that were of the tower,”
Context
28Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in his harness.
29Then they made a great shout and a noise, praising the Almighty in their own language.
30And Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citizens both in body and mind, and who continued his love toward his countrymen all his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor’s head, and his hand with his shoulder, and bring them to Jerusalem.
31So when he was there, and called them of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them that were of the tower,
32And shewed them vile Nicanor’s head, and the hand of that blasphemer, which with proud brags he had stretched out against the holy temple of the Almighty.
33And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nicanor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the fowls, and hang up the reward of his madness before the temple.
34So every man praised toward the heaven the glorious Lord, saying, Blessed be he that hath kept his own place undefiled.
