1 Maccabees 9:66-68

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

⁶⁶ He struck down Odome′ra and his brothers and the sons of Phasi′ron in their tents. ⁶⁷ Then he^[a] began to attack and went into battle with his forces; and Simon and his men sallied out from the city and set fire to the machines of war. ⁶⁸ They fought with Bac′chides, and he was crushed by them. They distressed him greatly, for his plan and his expedition had been in vain.
