2 Maccabees 12:38

38 So Judas gathered his host and came into the city of Adullam. And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as the custom was, and kept the Sabbath in the same place.

2 Maccabees 12:38 In-Context

36 Now when those who were with Gorgias had fought long and were weary, Judas called upon the Lord, that He would show Himself to be their helper and leader of the battle.

37 And with that he began in his own language and sang psalms with a loud voice and, rushing unawares upon Gorgias' men, he put them to flight.

38 So Judas gathered his host and came into the city of Adullam. And when the seventh day came, they purified themselves, as the custom was, and kept the Sabbath in the same place.

39 And upon the day following, as the practice had been, Judas and his company came to take up the bodies of those who were slain, and to bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' graves.

40 Now under the coats of every one who was slain they found things consecrated to the idols of the Jamnites, which is forbidden the Jews by the law. Then every man saw that this was the cause for which they were slain.
