32 And forthwith they went out towards them, and made war against them on the sabbath day,
33 And they said to them: Do you still resist? come forth, and do according to the edict of king Antiochus, and you shall live.
34 And they said: We will not come forth, neither will we obey the king's edict, to profane the sabbath day.
35 And they made haste to give them battle.
36 But they answered them not, neither did they cast a stone at them, nor stopped up the secret places,
37 Saying: Let us all die in our innocency: and heaven and earth shall be witnesses for us, that you put us to death wrongfully.
38 So they gave them battle on the sabbath: and they were slain with their wives, and their children, and their cattle, to the number of a thousand persons.
