1 Maccabees 5:42-44

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised Catholic Edition

⁴² When Judas approached the stream of water, he stationed the officers^[a] of the army at the stream and gave them this command, ‘Permit no one to encamp, but make them all enter the battle.’ ⁴³ Then he crossed over against them first, and the whole army followed him. All the Gentiles were defeated before him, and they threw away their arms and fled into the sacred precincts at Carnaim. ⁴⁴ But he took the town and burned the sacred precincts with fire, together with all who were in them. Thus Carnaim was conquered; they could stand before Judas no longer.
