1 Maccabees 1:20–24

²⁰And after that Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and ^swent up against Israel and Jerusalem ^owith a great multitude, ²¹and ^tentered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away ^uthe golden altar, and ^wthe candlestick of light, and ^wall the vessels thereof, ²²and ^xthe table of the shewbread, and ^ythe pouring vessels, and ^ythe vials, and ^ythe censers of gold, and ^zthe vail, and ^athe crowns, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple, all which he pulled off. ²³He took also the silver and the gold, and the precious vessels: also he took the hidden treasures which he found. ²⁴And when he had taken all away, he went into his own land, ^chaving made a great massacre, and ^dspoken very proudly.
