2 Maccabees 14:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² And forthwith he sent Nicanor, the commander over the elephants, governor into Judea:

¹³ Giving him in charge, to take Judas himself: and disperse all them that were with him, and to make Alcimus the high priest of the great temple.

¹⁴ Then the Gentiles who had fled out of Judea from Judas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the miseries and calamities of the Jews to be the welfare of their affairs.
