1 Maccabees 5:21-23
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
21 Simon went into Galilee and fought many battles with the Gentiles. They were crushed before him, 22 and he pursued them to the very gate of Ptolemais. About three thousand of the Gentiles fell, and he gathered their spoils. 23 He took with him the Jews who were in Galilee and in Arbatta,[a] with their wives and children and all that they had, and brought them to Judea with great rejoicing.
