Masada
CONTEXT PAGE · WAR 7.8-9
Three years after the temple fell, the last holdouts of the revolt died at Masada rather than surrender, by Josephus's account at their own hands after Eleazar's speech. No New Testament text refers to it; it is here because it closes the war Josephus chronicled and because it is the event most readers know his name from.
JOSEPHUS
War 7.8-9 is a range rather than a single section, so it is linked rather than reproduced here.
