9Thus hee that had driuen many out of their countrey, perished in a strange land, retiring to the Lacedemonians, and thinking there to finde succour by reason of his kindred. 10And hee that had cast out many vnburied, had none to mourne for him, nor any solemne funerals at all, nor sepulchre with his fathers. 11Now when this that was done came to the kings eare, he thought that Iudea had reuolted, whereupon remouing out of Egypt in a furious minde, he tooke the citie by force of armes, 12And commaunded his men of warre not to spare such as they met, and to slay such as went vp vpon the houses. 13Thus there was killing of yong and old, making away of men, women and children, slaying of virgins and infants.
