1 Maccabees 2:26-28

Common English Bible

²⁶ He burned with zeal for the Law, just like Phinehas did against Zimri, Salu’s son.

²⁷ Then Mattathias shouted loudly in the town, “Everyone who is zealous for the Law and supports the covenant should come with me!” ²⁸ So he and his sons fled to the hills and left behind all that they had in the town.
