But when those who were with Esdris had fought all day and were fatigued, Judas called upon the Lord to be their helper and leader in the battle. (2 Maccabees 12, 36)
Menelaus also joined himself to them, and with many lies he pleaded with Antiochus, not for the welfare of his country, but hoping that he would be appointed as first ruler. (2 Maccabees 13, 3)
When Judas understood this, he instructed the people to call upon the Lord day and night, so that, just as always, now also he would help them. (2 Maccabees 13, 10)
And so, giving everything to God, the Creator of the world, and having exhorted his own to contend with fortitude and to stand up, even unto death, for the laws, the temple, the city, their country and the citizens: he positioned his army around Modin. (2 Maccabees 13, 14)
And having given his own a sign of the victory of God, he attacked the quarters of the king by night, with the strongest chosen young men, and he slew four thousand men in the camp, and the greatest of the elephants, along with those who would have been positioned on them. (2 Maccabees 13, 15)
But Rhodocus, a certain one from the Jewish army, reported the secrets to the enemies, so he was sought out, apprehended, and imprisoned. (2 Maccabees 13, 21)
But after a time of three years, Judas and those who were with him realized that Demetrius of Seleucus had gone up to strategic places with a very strong multitude and a navy at the port of Tripoli, (2 Maccabees 14, 1)

But, having met with an opportune time for his madness, he was called to a counsel by Demetrius and asked what things the Jews relied upon and what were their counsels. (2 Maccabees 14, 5)
He responded: “Those among the Jews who are called Hasideans, of whom Judas Maccabeus is foremost, nourish wars, and raise seditions, and will not permit the kingdom to be at peace. (2 Maccabees 14, 6)
For, as long as Judas survives, it is impossible for the matter to be at peace.” (2 Maccabees 14, 10)
Then, having spoken such things before them, the rest of the allies, who held themselves to be enemies against Judas, further inflamed Demetrius. (2 Maccabees 14, 11)
