1 Maccabees 3:13

13 Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard it said that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war,

1 Maccabees 3:13 In-Context

11 When Judas perceived this thing, he went forth to meet him; and so he smote him and slew him. Many also fell down slain, but the rest fled.

12 Therefore Judas took their spoils and Apollonius' sword also, and therewith he fought all his life long.

13 Now when Seron, a prince of the army of Syria, heard it said that Judas had gathered unto him a multitude and company of the faithful to go out with him to war,

14 he said, "I will get me a name and honor in the kingdom; for I will go fight with Judas and those who are with him, who despise the king's commandment."

15 So he made ready to go up, and there went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to help him and to be avenged on the children of Israel.
