Antiochus's downfall and Judas Maccabeus's victories front Judea
A historical narrative recounts Judas Maccabeus repelling the Seleucid threat to Jerusalem. Antiochus Epiphanes suffers a grievous, humiliating death after a failed siege and plague. Lysias mobilizes a large force to suppress the Jews, while Judas seeks God’s protection and leads his people in psalms and battle. The account ties events to Daniel’s prophecies and situates them in the broader Hellenistic conflict.
