2 Maccabees 12:5-7

New Catholic Bible

⁵ As soon as Judas learned of this act of cruelty perpetrated against his compatriots, he issued orders to his men, ⁶ and after calling upon God, the just judge, he attacked the murderers of his kindred. He set fire to the harbor during a nighttime attack, burned the boats, and put to the sword those who had taken refuge there. ⁷ Then, because the gates of the town were closed, he withdrew, intending to return later and wipe out the entire community of Joppa.
