2 Maccabees 12:25-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁵ And when he had given his faith that he would restore them according to the agreement, they let him go without hurt, for the saving of their brethren.

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.
