2 Maccabees 13:9 In-Context

7 Such a death it happened that that wicked man died, not having so much as burial in the earth, and that most justly.
8 For inasmuch as he had committed many sins against the altar whose fire and ashes were holy, he received his death in ashes.
9 Now the king came with a barbarous and haughty mind to do far worse to the Jews than had been done in his father's time.
10 When Judas perceived these things, he commanded the multitude to call upon the Lord night and day that, if ever at any other time, He would now also help them, being at the point of being removed from their law, from their country, and from the holy temple,
11 and that He would not suffer the people, who had even now been but a little refreshed, to be in subjection to the blasphemous nations.
