II Maccabees 15:11 So he armed every one of them, not with defence of shield and spear, but with very good speeches and exhortations, and told them a dream worthy to be believed, whereby he rejoiced them all.

Not with, not only, or so much with, etc. (Haydock) --- Dream. He knew it was supernatural (Calmet) by God's light, as St. Joseph did, Matthew 1:20. (Worthington)
