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.
