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

1 Maccabees 2:28 In-Context

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

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

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

29 Then many who were seeking righteousness and justice went down to the wilderness to dwell there,

30 they, their sons, their wives, and their cattle, because evils pressed heavily upon them.
