The King's Pride as a Theological Problem 1 Maccabees (1:3)
Abstract
Studies on IMacc 1,3a - a verse interesting on account of its historical context - lead to the
conclusion that when remarking on the pride of the Macedonian King the author of the book uses
the expression his heart was lifted, up not only as a reference to history, although history does
confirm the king’s character. The quoted phrase has a highly theological connotation in the Bible
and is used with reference to various characters who meet with an adequate response on the part of
the God of Israel. The causes of human pride discussed in the article - success in life, riches and
military victory - are by no means the only ones responsible for the increasing self-satisfaction felt
by the characters. However, it seems that it is those causes of pride that most often threaten
punishment to the willful.
