2 Maccabees 12:26-28

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ Then Judas went away to Carnion, where he slew five and twenty thousand persons.

²⁷ And after he had put to flight and destroyed these, he removed his army to Ephron, a strong city, wherein there dwelt a multitude of divers nations: and stout young men standing upon the walls made a vigorous resistance: and in this place there were many engines of war, and a provision of darts.

²⁸ But when they had invocated the Almighty, who with his power breaketh the strength of the enemies, they took the city; and slew five and twenty thousand of them that were within.
