1 Maccabees 2:20

1 Maccabees 2:20 Context

¹⁸Now therefore come thou first and fulfill the kings commandement, like as all the heathen haue done; yea and the men of Iuda also, and such as remaine at Ierusalem: so shalt thou and thine house be in the number of the kings friends, and thou and thy children shall be honoured with siluer, and golde, and many rewards. ¹⁹Then Mattathias answered, and spake with a loude voice, Though all the nations that are vnder the kings dominion obey him, and fall away euery one from the religion of their fathers, and giue consent to his commandements: ²⁰Yet will I, and my sonnes, and my brethren walke in the couenant of our fathers. ²¹God forbid that we should forsake the Law, and the ordinances: ²²We will not hearken to the kings words, to goe from our religion, either on the right hand, or the left.
