1 Maccabees 14:11 In-Context

9 Old men sat along the sides of the streets and talked about good things. The young put on impressive military uniforms.

10 Simon supplied the towns with food and with the means for defense. His fame spread to the ends of the earth.

11 He established peace throughout the land, and Israel had great joy.

12 All the people sat under their own vines and fig trees. No one made them afraid.

13 No one was left in the land to fight them, because foreign kings had been crushed in those days.
