1 Maccabees 2:38-40

Wycliffe Bible

³⁸ And they gave to them battle in (or on) (the) sabbaths, and they were dead, and (the) wives of them, and (the) sons of them, and (the) beasts of them, till to a thousand persons of men.

³⁹ And Mattathias knew, and his friends; and they had mourning on them greatly.

⁴⁰ And a man said to his neighbor, If we all shall do as our brethren did, and shall not fight against (the) heathen men, for our lives, and our justifyings, the sooner they shall destroy us from (off) the earth.
