2 Maccabees 15:30-32

Common English Bible

³⁰ Their leader, who had always fought for the citizens with body and soul and had carefully preserved the goodwill toward his fellow citizens from his youth, commanded that Nicanor’s head and arm be cut off and carried to Jerusalem. ³¹ After arriving there, Judas called together his fellow citizens, stationed the priests at the altar, and sent for those from the elevated fortress.^[a]

³² He displayed the head of the repulsive Nicanor and the slanderer’s hand, which he had extended against the almighty’s holy house while uttering great boasts.
