2 Maccabees 8:33-35

Common English Bible

³³ While celebrating victory in their homeland, they burned alive those who had set on fire the sacred gates, including Callisthenes, who had fled into a small house, so that he received the just reward for his sin.^{[a] 34} But the utterly corrupt Nicanor, who had invited one thousand merchants for the sale of the Jews, ³⁵ was humiliated with the Lord’s help by those he despised the most. He stripped off his stately uniform and traveled into Antioch by the inland road like a lone fugitive, having succeeded only in destroying his own army.
