1 Maccabees 9:21 In-Context

19 Jonathan and Simon took their brother's body and buried it in the family tomb at Modein,

20 and there at the tomb they wept for him. All Israel mourned for him in great sorrow for many days. They said,

21 "It can't be! The mighty hero and savior of Israel has been killed!"

22 The other deeds of Judas, his battles, his courageous deeds, and his great accomplishments, were too many to write down.

23 After the death of Judas, the lawless traitors began to reappear everywhere in Judea, and all the wicked people returned.
