2 Maccabees 10:1–3

Now Maccabaeus and his followers, under the leadership of the Lord, recaptured the temple and the city, and pulled down the altars erected by the aliens in the market-place, as well as the sacred inclosures. After cleansing the sanctuary, they erected another altar of sacrifice, and striking fire out of flints they offered sacrifices after a lapse of two years, with incense, lamps, and the presentation of the shew-bread.
