1 Maccabees 5:42-44

Good News Translation

⁴² When Judas reached the bank of the river, he gave orders to his officers to let no one stop but to push everyone forward into battle. ⁴³ Judas was the first to cross the river against the enemy, and all his men followed him. The Gentiles broke ranks before them, threw away their arms, and fled to the pagan temple at Karnaim. ⁴⁴ But Judas and his men took the city and burned down the temple with all who were in it. With Karnaim overthrown, the Gentiles could no longer offer any resistance to Judas.
