1 Maccabees 9:21

21 "What a mighty one has fallen, saving Israel!"

1 Maccabees 9:21 In-Context

19 Then Jonathan and Simon took their brother Judas, buried him in their ancestral tomb at Modein,

20 and wept for him. All Israel expressed deep sorrow for him and mourned for many days. They said,

21 "What a mighty one has fallen, saving Israel!"

22 Now the rest of Judas' achievements—his wars, the brave things that he did, his greatness—haven't been recorded, but they were many.

23 After Judas' death, renegades appeared throughout Israel. All the immoral people reappeared.
