2 Maccabees 12:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ Since all the people of the town had decided to do this, the Jews suspected nothing and accepted the invitation out of a feeling of good will. But when they were out at sea, the people of Joppa drowned all two hundred of them.

⁵ As soon as Judas heard of this inhuman thing that had been done to those Jews, he informed his men. ⁶ After they had prayed to God, the just judge, they attacked the murderers. Under cover of darkness they set fire to the harbor, burning all the ships, and killing everyone they found hiding there.
