1 Maccabees 9:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ In those days there was a severe famine, and the country went over to their side. ²⁵ Bacchides chose godless men to be in charge of the country. ²⁶ These searched out and hunted down the friends of Judas and brought them to Bacchides, who took his revenge on them and mocked them.
