2 Maccabees 12:4-6

Revised Standard Version

⁴ and this was done by public vote of the city. And when they accepted, because they wished to live peaceably and suspected nothing, the men of Joppa^[a] took them out to sea and drowned them, not less than two hundred. ⁵ When Judas heard of the cruelty visited on his countrymen, he gave orders to his men ⁶ and, calling upon God the righteous Judge, attacked the murderers of his brethren. He set fire to the harbor by night, and burned the boats, and massacred those who had taken refuge there.
