1 Maccabees 10:81-83

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁸¹ But his men stood fast, as Jonathan had commanded, and the enemy’s^[a] horses grew tired.

⁸² Then Simon brought forward his force and engaged the phalanx in battle (for the cavalry was exhausted); they were overwhelmed by him and fled, ⁸³ and the cavalry was dispersed in the plain. They fled to Azotus and entered Beth-dagon, the temple of their idol, for safety.
