1 Maccabees 3:33-35

New Catholic Bible

³³ and he also gave him responsibility for the care of his son Antiochus^[a] until he returned. ³⁴ He turned over to him half of his army, together with the elephants, and provided him with detailed instructions about all that he wanted done. As for the inhabitants of Judea and Jerusalem, ³⁵ Lysias was to send an army against them to crush and destroy the power of Israel and the remnant of Jerusalem, and to wipe out the memory of them from the land.
