21 How is the mighty fallen, the savior of Israel!
22 And the rest of the acts of Judas, and his wars, and the valiant deeds which he did, and his greatness, they are not written; for they were exceeding many.
23 And it came to pass after the death of Judas, that the lawless put forth their heads in all the coasts of Israel, and all they that wrought iniquity rose up
24 (in those days there was an exceeding great famine), and the country went over with them.
25 And Bacchides chose out the ungodly men, and made them lords of the country.
26 And they sought out and searched for the friends of Judas, and brought them to Bacchides, and he took vengeance on them, and used them despitefully.
27 And there was great tribulation in Israel, such as was not since the time that no prophet appeared to them.
