28 Then he and his sons fled to the hills and left all that they had in the town.

1 Maccabees 2:28 In-Context

26 Thus he burned with zeal for the law, just as Phinehas did against Zimri son of Salu.

27 Then Mattathias cried out in the town with a loud voice, saying: "Let every one who is zealous for the law and supports the covenant come out with me!"

28 Then he and his sons fled to the hills and left all that they had in the town.

29 At that time many who were seeking righteousness and justice went down to the wilderness to live there,

30 they, their sons, their wives, and their livestock, because troubles pressed heavily upon them.
