1 Maccabees 3:26-28

Wycliffe Bible

²⁶ and the name of him came to the king, and all (the) folks told of the battles of Judas.

²⁷ Soothly as king Antiochus heard these words, he was wroth in soul [or in inwit]; and he sent, and gathered the host of all his realm, full strong castles (yea, a very strong host, or army).

²⁸ And he opened his treasury, and gave solds (or wages) to his host, into (or for) a year, and commanded them, that they should be ready to (or for) all things.
