1 Maccabees 11:3-5
Revised Standard Version
3 But when Ptol′emy entered the cities he stationed forces as a garrison in each city.
4 When he[a] approached Azo′tus, they showed him the temple of Dagon burned down, and Azo′tus and its suburbs destroyed, and the corpses lying about, and the charred bodies of those whom Jonathan[b] had burned in the war, for they had piled them in heaps along his route. 5 They also told the king what Jonathan had done, to throw blame on him; but the king kept silent.
