2 Maccabees 5:14-16
Revised Standard Version
14 Within the total of three days eighty thousand were destroyed, forty thousand in hand-to-hand fighting; and as many were sold into slavery as were slain.
Pillage of the Temple
15 Not content with this, Anti′ochus[a] dared to enter the most holy temple in all the world, guided by Menela′us, who had become a traitor both to the laws and to his country. 16 He took the holy vessels with his polluted hands, and swept away with profane hands the votive offerings which other kings had made to enhance the glory and honor of the place.
