2 Maccabees 14:40-42
Common English Bible
40 because he thought that by arresting him, he would create a problem for the Jewish people.[a] 41 When the mob was about to take the tower, forcing open the door of the courtyard, they commanded that the door be set on fire. Razis was surrounded on every side, so he fell on his own sword. 42 He wanted to die bravely rather than fall into the hands of sinners and suffer outrages unworthy of his own high birth.
