2 Maccabees 5:25LXX

23And in Gazarim, Andronicus and Menelaus, who bore a more heavy hand upon the citizens than the rest.

24And whereas he was set against the Jews, he sent that hateful prince Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand men, commanding him to kill all that were of perfect age, and to sell the women and the younger sort.

25Who when he was come to Jerusalem, pretending peace, rested till the holy day of the sabbath: and then the Jews keeping holiday, he commanded his men to take arms.

26And he slew all that were come forth to see: and running through the city with armed men, he destroyed a very great multitude.

27But Judas Machabeus, who was the tenth, had withdrawn himself into a desert place, and there lived amongst wild beasts in the mountains with his company: and they continued feeding on herbs, that they might not be partakers of the pollution.
