'Band' in the Bible

Like raiders who wait in ambush for someone,a band of priests murders on the road to Shechem.They commit atrocities.

When my desire was for the fate of my people to be changed and to make Israel well, then the sin of Ephraim was made clear, and the evil-doing of Samaria; for their ways are false, and the thief comes into the house, while the band of outlaws takes property by force in the streets.
