2 Maccabees 5:13-15

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁴ And there were slain in the space of three whole days fourscore thousand, forty thousand were made prisoners, and as many sold.

¹⁵ But this was not enough; he presumed also to enter into the temple, the most holy in all the world, Menelaus, that traitor to the laws, and to his country, being his guide.
