You know what great battles I and my brethren, and the house of my father, ahev fought for the laws and the sanctuary, and the distress that we have seen: by reason whereof all my brethren have lost their lives for Isreal's sake, and I am left alone. And now far be it from me to spare my life in any time of trouble: for I am not better than my brethren: I will avenge then my nation and the sancturay, and our childern and wives; for all the heathens are gathered together to destroy us out of mere malice. 1Mac. 13:3-6
