2 Maccabees 12:5 Context
3The men of Ioppe also did such an vngodly deed: they prayed the Iewes that dwelt among them, to goe with their wiues, and children into the boats which they had prepared, as though they had meant them no hurt. 4Who accepted of it according to the common decree of the citie, as being desirous to liue in peace, and suspecting nothing: but when they were gone forth into the deepe, they drowned no lesse then two hundred of them. 5When Iudas heard of this crueltie done vnto his countrey men, he commanded those that were with him [to make them ready.] 6And calling vpon God the righteous iudge, he came against those murtherers of his brethren, & burnt the hauen by night, and set the boats on fire, and those that fled thither, he slew. 7And when the towne was shut vp, he went backward, as if he would returne to root out all them of the citie of Ioppe.
