Löydetty 1275 Tulokset: Holy City
King Antiochus was still on his journey through the high countries, when he heard tell of a city in Persia called Elymais, renowned for its treasures of silver and gold; (1 Maccabees 6, 1)
Thither he marched, intent on seizing the city and plundering it; but seize it he might not, because the townsfolk had news of his purpose, (1 Maccabees 6, 3)
Meanwhile, what of the Jews that dwelt about the holy place? Here was the garrison of the citadel hemming them in, seeking ever to do them injury, and to sustain the Gentile cause. (1 Maccabees 6, 18)
With the defenders of Bethsura he had made terms; yield up the city they must, so ill were they victualled for a siege, in a year when the land lay fallow;✻ (1 Maccabees 6, 49)
But it was against the holy place itself that he turned his arms, and long he beleaguered it; what catapults he brought to bear on it, what engines! Flew fiery darts, flew stone and javelin and arrow from mangonel and arbalest, and the slings took their turn. (1 Maccabees 6, 51)
but the seventh year had come round, and what store was left in the city had been eaten up by the new citizens rescued from Gentile countries, so food was none to be had. (1 Maccabees 6, 53)
Only a few defenders were left in the holy place now; the rest, overtaken by famine, had dispersed to their homes. (1 Maccabees 6, 54)
Then, with all haste, he took leave of it, and returned to Antioch, where he found Philip in possession, and levied war on him, taking the city by storm. (1 Maccabees 6, 63)
This day a new enemy overwhelm with our onslaught, and let all the world know what comes of threatening thy holy place; for his ill-doing, ill requite him! (1 Maccabees 7, 42)
As for his body, his brothers Jonathan and Simon recovered it, and so buried him where his fathers were buried, in the city of Modin. (1 Maccabees 9, 19)
meanwhile, Jonathan had left his brother Simon in command of the city, and was roaming the country-side. When he came back, it was with a band of men at his heels; (1 Maccabees 9, 65)
and he himself took up his quarters in Jerusalem, where he set about building up the city and repairing it. (1 Maccabees 10, 10)
