1 Maccabees 11:3-5

Common English Bible

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

⁴ When he approached Azotus, they showed him that Dagon’s temple had been burned. Azotus and its suburbs had been destroyed. Corpses were lying about, the charred bodies of those whom Jonathan had burned in the war. They had piled them in heaps along his route. ⁵ They also told the king what Jonathan had done, throwing blame on him. But the king kept silent.
