1 Maccabees 5:42-44

New Catholic Bible

⁴² When Judas reached the stream, he stationed the scribes^[a] of the people alongside it and gave them this command, “Do not allow anyone to encamp, but order them all to enter the battle.” ⁴³ He himself was the first one to cross over to the attack, and his entire army followed him. The Gentiles were crushed; at his approach they threw down their arms and fled to the temple^[b] at Carnaim. ⁴⁴ The Jews captured that city and then burned down the temple with all who were inside. Thus Carnaim was captured, and no further resistance was offered to Judas.
