4 And he was like a lion in his deeds, and as a lion’s whelp roaring for prey.
5 And he pursued the lawless, seeking them out, and he burned up those that troubled his people.
6 And the lawless shrunk for fear of him, and all the workers of lawlessness were sore troubled, and salvation prospered in his hand.
7 And he angered many kings, and made Jacob glad with his acts, and his memorial is blessed for ever.
8 And he went about among the cities of Judah, and destroyed the ungodly out of the land, and turned away wrath from Israel:
9 and he was renowned to the utmost part of the earth, and he gathered together such as were ready to perish.
10 And Apollonius gathered the Gentiles together, and a great host from Samaria, to fight against Israel.
