Now was there accused unto Nicanor one Razis, one of the elders of Jerusalem, a lover of his countrymen, and a man of very good report, who for his kindness was called a father of the Jews.
For in the former times, when they mingled not themselves with the Gentiles, he had been accused of
Judaism, and did boldly
jeopard his body and life with all
vehemency for the religion of the Jews.
Now when the multitude would have taken the tower, and violently broken into the outer door, and
bade that fire should be brought to burn it, he being ready to be taken on every side fell upon
his sword;
Choosing rather to die
manfully, than to come into the hands of the wicked, to be
abused otherwise than
beseemed his noble birth:
But missing
his stroke through
haste, the multitude also
rushing within the doors, he ran boldly up to the wall, and cast himself down
manfully among the thickest of them.
Nevertheless, while there was yet breath within him, being inflamed with anger, he rose up; and though
his blood
gushed out like spouts of water, and
his wounds were
grievous, yet he ran through the midst of the
throng; and standing upon a steep rock,
When as
his blood was now quite gone, he
plucked out
his bowels, and taking them in both
his hands, he cast them upon the
throng, and calling upon the Lord of life and spirit to restore him those again, he thus died.
But Nicanor, hearing that
Judas and
his company were in the strong places about Samaria, resolved without any danger to set upon them on the sabbath day.
Then said the other, And I also am mighty upon earth, and I command to take arms, and to do the king’s business. Yet he obtained not to have his wicked will done.
So Nicanor in exceeding pride and
haughtiness determined to set up a publick monument of
his victory over
Judas and them that were with him.
Wherefore he
exhorted his people not to fear the coming of the heathen against them, but to remember the help which in former times they had received from heaven, and now to expect the victory and aid, which should come unto them from the
Almighty.
And this was
his vision: That Onias, who had been high priest, a
virtuous and a good man,
reverend in conversation, gentle in condition, well spoken also, and exercised from a child in all points of virtue, holding up
his hands prayed for the whole body of the Jews.
Whereupon Jeremias holding forth
his right hand gave to
Judas a sword of gold, and in giving it spake thus,
Maccabeus seeing the coming of the multitude, and the
divers preparations of armour, and the fierceness of the beasts, stretched out
his hands toward heaven, and called upon the Lord that worketh wonders, knowing that victory cometh not by arms, but even as it seemeth good to him, he giveth it to such as are worthy:
Therefore in
his prayer he said after this manner; O Lord, thou
didst send thine angel in the time of Ezekias king of
Judea, and
didst slay in the host of
Sennacherib an hundred
fourscore and five thousand:
Now when the battle was done, returning again with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead in
his harness.
And
Judas, who was ever the chief defender of the citizens both in body and mind, and who continued
his love toward
his countrymen all
his life, commanded to strike off Nicanor’s head, and
his hand with
his shoulder, and bring them to Jerusalem.
So when he was there, and called them of his nation together, and set the priests before the altar, he sent for them that were of the tower,
And when he had cut out the tongue of that ungodly Nicanor, he commanded that they should give it by pieces unto the fowls, and
hang up the reward of
his madness before the temple.
So every man praised toward the heaven the glorious Lord, saying, Blessed be he that hath kept
his own place
undefiled.
