1 Maccabees 5:66-68

Revised Standard Version

⁶⁶ Then he marched off to go into the land of the Philistines, and passed through Mar′isa.^{[a] 67} On that day some priests, who wished to do a brave deed, fell in battle, for they went out to battle unwisely. ⁶⁸ But Judas turned aside to Azo′tus in the land of the Philistines; he tore down their altars, and the graven images of their gods he burned with fire; he plundered the cities and returned to the land of Judah.
