2 Maccabees 5:26-27

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁶ And he slew all that were come forth to see: and running through the city with armed men, he destroyed a very great multitude.

²⁷ But Judas Machabeus, who was the tenth, had withdrawn himself into a desert place, and there lived amongst wild beasts in the mountains with his company: and they continued feeding on herbs, that they might not be partakers of the pollution.
