2 Maccabees 12:7-9
Revised Standard Version
7 Then, because the city’s gates were closed, he withdrew, intending to come again and root out the whole community of Joppa. 8 But learning that the men in Jam′nia meant in the same way to wipe out the Jews who were living among them, 9 he attacked the people of Jam′nia by night and set fire to the harbor and the fleet, so that the glow of the light was seen in Jerusalem, thirty miles[a] distant.
