1 Maccabees 1:22-24

New Catholic Bible

²² the table for the loaves of offering, the libation cups and bowls, the golden censers, the curtain, and the crowns. He stripped off all the gold decorations on the front of the temple, ²³ and he seized the silver and gold and precious vessels and all the hidden treasures he could find. ²⁴ Taking all this, he returned to his own country, having caused great bloodshed and boasted arrogantly of what he had accomplished.
