1 Maccabees 5:55 In-Context

53 And Judas gathered together those who came behind, and exhorted the people all the way through till they came into the land of Judea.

54 So they went up to Mount Zion with joy and gladness where they offered burnt offerings, because not one of them were slain until they had returned in peace.

55 Now at the time that Judas and Jonathan were in the land of Gilead and Simon his brother in Galilee before Ptolemais,

56 Joseph the son of Zechariah, and Azariah, captains of the garrisons, heard of the valiant acts and warlike deeds which they had done.

57 Therefore they said, "Let us also get us a name, and go fight against the heathen who are round about us."
