1 Maccabees 12:13

¹¹We therefore at all times without ceasing, both in our feasts, and other convenient days, do remember you in the sacrifices which we offer, and in our prayers, as reason is, and as it becometh us to think upon our brethren:

¹²And we are right glad of your honour.

— 1 Maccabees 12:13 —

¹⁴Howbeit we would not be troublesome unto you, nor to others of our confederates and friends, in these wars:

¹⁵For we have help from heaven that succoureth us, so as we are delivered from our enemies, and our enemies are brought under foot.
