But when he arrived at the point where he expected to meet Judas Maccabeus, there was no sign of life. "Guess they chickened and ski- dooed," he said. What should he do? A few minutes later, he heard a rumpus behind him. Everybody turned and looked back. They could see the Syrian soldiers flee- ing. Judas Maccabeus had taken his army and was attacking the enemy from the rear, completely disorgan- izing the army, whose powerful weapons had been placed in front. The Syrian general was indig- nant.

Judas Maccabeus thought of this when the Syrian dictator, Anti- ochus, forbade the worship of the Jewish religion and set up diffe- rent idols, and even pigs as gods, and commanded Jews to worship them.
