1 Maccabees 8:10

10 But the Romans became aware of this, so they sent a general against the Greeks and attacked them. Many Greeks were wounded and died. The Romans took their wives and children captive. They plundered them, conquered their land, tore down their fortresses, and enslaved them to this day.

1 Maccabees 8:10 In-Context

8 These included the countries of India, Media, and Lydia. They took them from Antiochus and gave them to King Eumenes.

9 The Greeks thought about coming to destroy them.

10 But the Romans became aware of this, so they sent a general against the Greeks and attacked them. Many Greeks were wounded and died. The Romans took their wives and children captive. They plundered them, conquered their land, tore down their fortresses, and enslaved them to this day.

11 They destroyed and enslaved many of the remaining kingdoms and islands that opposed them.

12 But the Romans have kept friendship with their allies and those who rely on them. They have subdued kings far and near, and as many as have heard of their reputation have feared them.
