1 Maccabees 7:17 Context
14For said they, One that is a priest of the seed of Aaron is come with this army, and he will do us no wrong. 15So he spake unto them, peaceably, and sware unto them, saying, we will procure the harm neither of you nor your friends. 16Whereupon they believed him: howbeit he took of them threescore men, and slew them in one day, according to the words which he wrote, 17The flesh of thy saints have they cast out, and their blood have they shed round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them. 18Wherefore the fear and dread of them fell upon all the people, who said, There is neither truth nor righteousness in them; for they have broken the covenant and oath that they made. 19After this, removed Bacchides from Jerusalem, and pitched his tents in Bezeth, where he sent and took many of the men that had forsaken him, and certain of the people also, and when he had slain them, he cast them into the great pit. 20Then committed he the country to Alcimus, and left with him a power to aid him: so Bacchides went to the king.
