woman with seven sons
The woman with seven sons was a Jewish martyr described in 2 Maccabees 7 and other sources. Although unnamed in 2 Maccabees, she is known variously as Hannah,〔 Miriam,〔 and Solomonia.〔
==2 Maccabees==
Shortly before the revolt of Judas Maccabeus (2 Maccabees 8), Antiochus IV Epiphanes arrested a mother and her seven sons, and tried to force them to eat pork. When they refused, he tortured and killed the sons one by one. The narrator mentions that the mother "was the most remarkable of all, and deserves to be remembered with special honour. She watched her seven sons die in the space of a single day, yet she bore it bravely because she put her trust in the Lord."〔2 Maccabees 7:20, New English Bible.〕 Each of the sons makes a speech as he dies, and the last one says that his brothers are "dead under God's covenant of everlasting life".〔2 Maccabees 7:36, Authorised Version. George Bull says of this verse, "I scarce know where to find an instance of greater faith" (in the resurrection and immortality) "and fortitude in any of our Christian martyrologies than here." ''Sermon VIII'', cited in ''The Old Testament According to the Authorised Version With Brief Commentary by Various Authors. The Apocryphal Books: Esdras to Maccabees'' (Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge, 1902).〕 The narrator ends by saying that the mother died, without saying whether she was executed, or died in some other way.
