1 Maccabees 10:83-85

New Catholic Bible

⁸³ The horsemen scattered over the plain and fled to Azotus, seeking refuge in Beth-dagon, the temple of their idol. ⁸⁴ However, Jonathan burned and plundered Azotus and its surrounding villages, and he destroyed by fire both the temple of Dagon and the men who had taken refuge in it. ⁸⁵ The number of those who fell by the sword, together with those who were burned to death, totaled about eight thousand men.
