2 Maccabees 12:7-9

Common English Bible

⁷ Because a large area of the city was secured against his attack, he departed, intending to return and root out the entire citizen community of Joppa. ⁸ He learned that the people of Jamnia were also planning to finish off the Jews living among them in the same way. ⁹ So Judas mounted a night attack against Jamnia and set its harbor and fleet on fire, so that the gleams of light shone in Jerusalem twenty-eight miles^[a] away.
