²And saw that the people was in great trembling and feare, he went vp to Ierusalem, and gathered the people together, ³And gaue them exhortation, saying: Yee your selues know, what great things I and my brethren, and my fathers house haue done for the lawes, and the Sanctuarie, the battels also, and troubles which we haue seene, ⁴By reason whereof all my brethren are slaine for Israels sake, and I am left alone. ⁵Now therefore be it farre from me, that I should spare mine owne life in any time of trouble: for I am no better then my brethren. ⁶Doubtlesse I will auenge my nation and the Sanctuarie, & our wiues, and our children: for all the heathen are gathered to destroy vs, of very malice.
