1 Maccabees 10:82-84

New Catholic Bible

⁸² At that point, when the cavalry was exhausted, Simon led his forces forward and engaged the enemy phalanx in battle. Overwhelmed by him, they took to flight. ⁸³ The horsemen scattered over the plain and fled to Azotus, seeking refuge in Beth-dagon, the temple of their idol. ⁸⁴ However, Jonathan burned and plundered Azotus and its surrounding villages, and he destroyed by fire both the temple of Dagon and the men who had taken refuge in it.
