1 Maccabees 7:16 In-Context

14 for they said, "A priest of the line of Aaron has come with the army, and he will not harm us."
15 And he spoke peaceable words to them and swore this oath to them, "We will not seek to injure you or your friends."
16 So they trusted him; but he seized sixty of them and killed them in one day, in accordance with the word which was written,
17 "The flesh of thy saints and their blood they poured out round about Jerusalem, and there was none to bury them."
18 Then the fear and dread of them fell upon all the people, for they said, "There is no truth or justice in them, for they have violated the agreement and the oath which they swore."
