1 Maccabees 2:32-37 World English Bible (WEB)

32. and many pursued after them, and having overtaken them, they encamped against them, and set the battle in array against them on the Sabbath day.

33. And they said to them, Thus far. Come forth, and do according to the word of the king, and you⌃ shall live.

34. And they said, We will not come forth, neither will we do the word of the king, to profane the Sabbath day.

35. And they hasted to give them battle.

36. And they answered them not, neither cast they a stone at them, nor stopped up the secret places,

37. saying, Let us die all in our innocency: heaven and earth witness over us, that you⌃ put us to death without trial.
