“The Cry of Mattathias” retells the grief recorded in 1 Maccabees 2:1–14, where a righteous priest named Mattathias witnessed the destruction, blasphemies, and suffering that overtook Jerusalem.
This chapter reveals:
• the lineage of Mattathias, a priest of the Joarib order
• his five sons: Joannan (Caddis), Simon (Thassi), Judas Maccabeus, Eleazar (Avaran), Jonathan (Apphus)
• the blasphemies committed in Judah and Jerusalem
• the holy city stripped of glory
• infants slain, young men murdered
• the sanctuary profaned, its beauty taken
• nations plundering her treasures
• Jerusalem reduced from a free woman to a bondslave
• Mattathias tearing his clothes, mourning in sackcloth
This moment — his lament, his agony, his question “To what end shall we live any longer?” — is the emotional foundation of the entire Hanukkah story.
This track blends spoken-word prophecy, hip-hop narration, and gospel soul, keeping oral tradition alive through powerful musical storytelling.

There are some sports in which certain countries are just really good at. We're talking New Zealand and Rugby, Brazil and football, Kenya and middle distance running.
And it might surprise you that an African country dominates the sport of squash. BBC Sport Africa's Isaac Fanin is here to find out why Egypt is so good at squash.

Under the bridges. In doorways. On street corners. You don't have to look too hard to see that homelessness is a big problem in Nigeria's biggest city, Lagos.
Amnesty International suggests that more than 30,000 have been forcibly evicted from settlements, and a further 300,000 are under threat.
Many flee to Lagos after being displaced by Boko Haram in the north-east of the country.
We spent a day with Godwin who came to Lagos to look for a better life, but found himself sleeping under a flyover in the city.
