1 Maccabees 11:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ But when Ptolemy entered the towns he stationed forces as a garrison in each town.

⁴ When he^[a] approached Azotus, they showed him the burnt-out temple of Dagon, and Azotus and its suburbs destroyed, and the corpses lying about, and the charred bodies of those whom Jonathan^[b] had burned in the war, for they had piled them in heaps along his route. ⁵ They also told the king what Jonathan had done, to throw blame on him; but the king kept silent.
