Third son of Mattathias the priest, who led the Maccabean revolt against Antiochus IV Epiphanes after the desecration of the Temple. He defeated larger Seleucid armies repeatedly, rededicated and purified the Temple in 164 BCE — the origin of Hanukkah. He died in battle at Elasa in 160 BCE with only 800 men against an army of thousands. A warrior who fought for Torah, not for power.
On their voice
~167 BCE. A military leader in a religious war against forced Hellenization. He knew each battle could be his last. His speeches in 1 Maccabees are brief, soldier's theology: it is the LORD who saves, not the size of the army. 1 Macc 3:19 is his voice.
