The persecution had lasted about six months, when God raised up a deliverer for a people whom he had not yet abandoned, in the noble family of the Asamoneans. Mattathias was the son of John, the son of Simon, the son of Asaraonias, from whom the family took its name. He was a priest of the course of Joarib, the first of the twenty-four courses appointed by David (1 Chron. Xxiv. 7), descended from Phineas, the son of Eleazer, the elder branch of the family of Aaron (1 Mace. Ii. 55). He had five ...sons, whose names were Johanan (John), Simon, Judas, Eleazer, and Jonathan. He was one of the principal inhabitants of Modin, a town near the seashore, about a mile from Joppa ( Jaff'a), and four miles fi'om Lydda or Diospolis. To this city a royal officer named Appelles was sent to enforce the edict. With many fair promises, he endeavored to induce Mattathias, as a leading man in the place, to set the example of sacrificing to the idol. But the undaunted priest repelled his offers with indigna- tion and abhorrence, and with a loud voice, in the hearing of the whole assembly, proclaimed his refusal to sacrifice.
