14
for said they, "One who is a priest of the seed of Aaron has come with this army, and he will do us no wrong."
15
So he spoke unto them peaceably, and swore unto them, saying, "We will procure the harm neither of you nor your friends,"
16
whereupon they believed him. Nonetheless he took from them threescore men and slew them in one day, according to the words which were written:
17
"The flesh of Thy saints have they cast out, and their blood have they shed round about Jerusalem; and there was none to bury them."
18
Therefore the fear and dread of them fell upon all the people, who said, "There is neither truth nor righteousness in them, for they have broken the covenant and oath that they made."
