1 Maccabees 4:25

25 That day Israel had a great deliverance.

1 Maccabees 4:25 In-Context

23 So Judas went back to plunder the camp. His army took a great amount of gold and silver, cloth that was dyed blue and purple, and great riches.

24 As they returned, they sang hymns and songs of praise to heaven: "God is good, because his mercy endures forever."

25 That day Israel had a great deliverance.

26 The foreigners who escaped went and told Lysias about all that had happened.

27 When he heard it, he was perplexed and discouraged. Things hadn't happened to Israel as he had intended, and they hadn't turned out the way that the king commanded.
