1 Maccabees 1:20-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁰ And he took the strong cities in the land of Egypt: and he took the spoils of the land of Egypt.

²¹ And after Antiochus had ravaged Egypt in the hundred and forty-third year, he returned and went up against Israel.

²² And he went up to Jerusalem with a great multitude.

²³ And he proudly entered into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition, and the pouring vessels, and the vials, and the little mortars of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornament that was before the temple: and he broke them all in pieces.

²⁴ And he took the silver and gold, and the precious vessels: and he took the hidden treasures which he found: and when he had taken all away he departed into his own country.
