1 Maccabees 7:17-19
Common English Bible
17 The flesh of your faithful ones…

18 Then fear and dread came over all the people. They said, “They are not truthful or just, because they broke the promise they made.”
19 Bacchides retreated from Jerusalem and camped in Beth-zaith. He captured many of the soldiers and some of the people who had deserted to his side. He killed them and threw them into a great pit.
