1 Then his son Judas, called Machabeus, rose up in his stead.
2 And all his brethren helped him, and all they that had joined themselves to his father, and they fought with cheerfulness the battle of Israel.
3 And he got his people great honour, and put on a breastplate as a giant, and girt his warlike armour about him in battles, and protected the camp with his sword.
4 In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.
