1 Maccabees 14:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ And all the land of Juda was at rest all the days of Simon, and he sought the good of his nation: and his power, and his glory pleased them well all his days.

⁵ And with all his glory he took Joppe for a haven, and made an entrance to the isles of the sea.

⁶ And he enlarged the bounds of his nation, and made himself master of the country.
