| 1MC:3:38 | Then Lysias chose Ptolemy, the son of Dorymenes, and Nicanor and Gorgias, powerful men from among the king's friends. |
| 1MC:7:26 | And the king sent Nicanor, one of his principal noblemen, who was a cultivator of hostility against Israel. And he commanded him to overthrow the people. |
| 1MC:7:27 | And Nicanor came to Jerusalem with a great army, and he sent to Judas and his brothers words of peace, with deceitfulness, |
| 1MC:7:31 | And Nicanor knew that his plan had been exposed, and he went out to meet Judas in battle near Capharsalama. |
| 1MC:7:32 | And there fell of the army of Nicanor nearly five thousand men, and they fled into the city of David. |
| 1MC:7:33 | And after these events, Nicanor ascended to mount Zion. And some of the priests of the people went out to greet him in peace, and to show him the holocausts that were offered for the king. |
| 1MC:7:39 | Then Nicanor departed from Jerusalem, and he positioned his camp near Bethhoron, and an army of Syria met him there. |
| 1MC:7:43 | And the armies were sent into battle together on the thirteenth day of the month of Adar. And the camp of Nicanor was crushed, and he himself was among the first slain in the battle. |
| 1MC:7:44 | So then, when his army saw that Nicanor had fallen, they threw away their weapons and fled. |
| 1MC:7:47 | And they took their spoils like a prey, and they cut off the head of Nicanor, and his right hand, which he had extended arrogantly, and they brought it, and hung it up opposite Jerusalem. |
| 1MC:9:1 | Meanwhile, when Demetrius heard that Nicanor and his army had fallen in battle, he again positioned Bacchides and Alcimus in Judea, and the right horn of his army with them. |
| 2MC:8:9 | And so, he quickly sent Nicanor, son of Patroclus, from his foremost friends, providing him with no less than twenty thousand armed men from throughout the Gentiles, to wipe out the entire race of the Jews, joining with him Gorgias, a military man with very great experience in the things of warfare. |
| 2MC:8:10 | Moreover, Nicanor decided to raise a tribute for the king of two thousand talents, which was to be given to the Romans, and which would be supplied by means of the captivity of the Jews. |
| 2MC:8:12 | Then, when Judas learned that Nicanor was approaching, he revealed it to those Jews who were with him. |
| 2MC:8:14 | In truth, others sold all that was in excess, and together beseeched the Lord, that he would rescue them from the impious Nicanor, who had sold them before he even came near them, |
