2 Maccabees 5:26-27

1. 26 And so he slew all them that were gone to the celebrating of the sabbath, and running through the city with weapons slew great multitudes.

2. 27 But Judas Maccabeus with nine others, or thereabout, withdrew himself into the wilderness, and lived in the mountains after the manner of beasts, with his company, who fed on herbs continually, lest they should be partakers of the pollution.
