1 Maccabees 2:24 Context
22We will not hearken to the kings words, to goe from our religion, either on the right hand, or the left. 23Now when he had left speaking these words, there came one of the Iewes in the sight of all, to sacrifice on the altar, which was at Modin, according to the kings commandement. 24Which thing when Mattathias saw, he was inflamed with zeale, and his reines trembled, neither could hee forbeare to shew his anger according to iudgement: wherefore he ranne, and slew him vpon the altar. 25Also the kings commissioner who compelled men to sacrifice, he killed at that time, & the altar he pulled downe. 26Thus dealt he zealously for the Law of God, like as Phineas did vnto Zambri the sonne of Salom.
