2 Maccabees 12:29-34
-
29 From thence they departed to Scythopolis, which lieth six hundred furlongs from Jerusalem,
-
30 But when the Jews that dwelt there had testified that the Scythopolitans dealt lovingly with them, and entreated them kindly in the time of their adversity;
-
31 They gave them thanks, desiring them to be friendly still unto them: and so they came to Jerusalem, the feast of the weeks approaching.
-
32 And after the feast, called Pentecost, they went forth against Gorgias the governor of Idumea,
-
33 Who came out with three thousand men of foot and four hundred horsemen.
-
34 And it happened that in their fighting together a few of the Jews were slain.
