1 Maccabees 7:16 In-Context

14 They said, "A priest who is descended from Aaron has come with the army, and he won't harm us."

15 Alcimus spoke peaceably to them and made a pledge to them: "We won't seek to injure you or your friends."

16 So they trusted him. But he seized sixty of them and killed them in one day. This was in keeping with the written word:

17 The flesh of your faithful ones… and their blood they poured out all around Jerusalem; there was no one to bury them.

18 Then fear and dread came over all the people. They said, "They are not truthful or just, because they broke the promise they made."
