1 Maccabees 5:14-16

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And while they were yet reading these letters, behold there came other messengers out of Galilee with their garments rent, who related according to these words:

¹⁵ Saying, that they of Ptolemais, and of Tyre, and of Sidon, were assembled against them, and all Galilee is filled with strangers, in order to consume us.

¹⁶ Now when Judas and all the people heard these words, a great assembly met together to consider what they should do for their brethren that were in trouble, and were assaulted by them.
