What does "2 maccabees 14:18" mean?
This verse from 2 Maccabees 14:18 means that Nicanor, a Syrian general, was intimidated and hesitant to engage in battle with Judas Maccabeus and his forces. This reluctance stemmed from the reputation of Judas and his men for their bravery, strength, and unwavering commitment to defending their homeland. Instead of immediately attacking, Nicanor was trying to find a way around fighting them head-on.
