1 Maccabees 10:81-84 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

81. But the people stood firm, just as Jonathan had instructed them, and their horses suffered hardships.

82. Then Simon drew forth his army, and he sent them against the legion. For the horsemen were wearied. And they were crushed by him, and they fled.

83. And those who were scattered throughout the plains fled to Azotus, and they entered into Bethdagon, so that, by their idol in that place, they might save themselves.

84. But Jonathan set fire to Azotus and to the cities that were all around it, and he captured their spoils and the temple of Dagon. And he burned with fire all those who had fled into it.
