2 Maccabees 5:12

12 and commanded his men of war not to spare such as they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses.

2 Maccabees 5:12 In-Context

10 And he that had cast out many unburied had none to mourn for him, nor any solemn funerals at all nor sepulcher with his fathers.

11 Now when this that was done came to the king's ear, he thought that Judea had revolted. Thereupon, removing out of Egypt in a furious mind, he took the city by force of arms,

12 and commanded his men of war not to spare such as they met, and to slay such as went up upon the houses.

13 Thus there was killing of young and old, making away with men, women, and children, slaying of virgins and infants.

14 And there were destroyed within the space of three whole days fourscore thousand, whereof forty thousand were slain in the conflict, and no fewer sold than slain.
