4 In his deeds he was like a lion,like a young lion roaring for prey.
5 He pursued the lawless, hunting them out,and those who troubled his people he destroyed by fire.
6 The lawless were cowed by fear of him,and all evildoers were dismayed.By his hand deliverance was happily achieved,
7 and he afflicted many kings.He gave joy to Jacob by his deeds,and his memory is blessed forever.
8 He went about the cities of Judahdestroying the renegades there.He turned away wrath from Israel,
9 was renowned to the ends of the earth;and gathered together those who were perishing.
10 Then Apollonius gathered together the Gentiles, along with a large army from Samaria, to fight against Israel.
