1 Maccabees 9:40-42
New Catholic Bible
40 The Jews sprang on them from their place of ambush and began to slay them. Many fell wounded, and the rest fled toward the mountain; and the Jews gathered up all their spoil. 41 Thus the wedding was turned into mourning and the sound of their music into lamentation.[a] 42 Having thereby gained revenge for the blood of their brother, the Jews returned to the marshes of the Jordan.
