1 Maccabees 7:23

23 And Judas saw all the wrongs that Alcimus and those with him had done among the Israelites; it was more than the Gentiles had done.

1 Maccabees 7:23 In-Context

21 Alcimus struggled to maintain his high priesthood,

22 and all who were troubling their people joined him. They gained control of the land of Judah and did great damage in Israel.

23 And Judas saw all the wrongs that Alcimus and those with him had done among the Israelites; it was more than the Gentiles had done.

24 So Judas went out into all the surrounding parts of Judea, taking vengeance on those who had deserted and preventing those in the city from going out into the country.

25 When Alcimus saw that Judas and those with him had grown strong, and realized that he could not withstand them, he returned to the king and brought malicious charges against them.
