2 Maccabees 8:31-33

Common English Bible

³¹ They carefully placed the captured armor all together in strategic places, but the rest of the spoils they carried into Jerusalem. ³² They killed the commander of Timothy’s troops, a most ungodly man who had caused grief to many Jews. ³³ While celebrating victory in their homeland, they burned alive those who had set on fire the sacred gates, including Callisthenes, who had fled into a small house, so that he received the just reward for his sin.^[a]
