1 Maccabees 5:33-35

New Catholic Bible

³³ He advanced behind them with three columns, sounding their trumpets and shouting in prayer. ³⁴ When the army of Timothy realized that it was Maccabeus, they fled before him. He inflicted a crushing defeat on them, and about eight thousand of their men fell that day. ³⁵ Then he moved on toward Alema and attacked and captured it. He slew every male in it, plundered the town, and set it afire.
