26 Now all the strangers who had escaped came and told Lysias what had happened,

1 Maccabees 4:26 In-Context

24 After this they went home and sang a song of thanksgiving and praised the Lord in heaven, because it is good, because His mercy endureth for ever.

25 Thus Israel had a great deliverance that day.

26 Now all the strangers who had escaped came and told Lysias what had happened,

27 who, when he heard thereof, was confounded and discouraged, because neither such things as he desired were done unto Israel, nor such things as the king commanded him had come to pass.

28 The next year therefore following, Lysias gathered together threescore thousand choice men on foot and five thousand horsemen, that he might subdue them.
