1 Maccabees 8:2-4

Wycliffe Bible

² and that they be mighty in strengths. And they heard (of the) battles of them, and good virtues, that they did in Galatia (or among the Galatians), for they wielded them, and led them under tribute;

³ and how many things they did in the country of Spain, and that they brought into power metals of silver and gold that be there;

⁴ and (that) they wielded each place with their counsel, and (with) patience, or wisdom, (yea), places that were full far from them; and they all-brake (the) kings that came on them from the utmost places of (the) earth, and they smited them with (a) great wound [or and kings that came above to them from the utmost places of (the) earth, they brake (al)together, and smited them with great plague]; forsooth others give to them tribute by all years.
