4 In his acts he was like a lion, and like a lion's whelp roaring for his prey.
5 And he pursued the wicked and sought them out, and them that troubled his people he burnt with fire:
6 And his enemies were driven away for fear of him, and all the workers of iniquity were troubled: and salvation prospered in his hand.
7 And he grieved many kings, and made Jacob glad with his works, and his memory is blessed for ever.
8 And he went through the cities of Juda, and destroyed the wicked out of them, and turned away wrath from Israel.
9 And he was renowned even to the utmost part of the earth, and he gathered them that were perishing.
10 And Apollonius gathered together the Gentiles, and a numerous and great army from Samaria, to make war against Israel.
