1 Maccabees 1:21–24

²¹And after Antiochus had ravaged Egypt, in the hundred and forty-third year, he returned and went up against Israel.

²²And he went up to Jerusalem, with a great multitude.

²³And he proudly entered into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition, and the pouring vessels, and the vials, and the little mortars of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornament that was before the temple: and he broke them all in pieces.

²⁴And he took the silver and gold, and the precious vessels: and he took the hidden treasures, which he found: and when he had taken all away, he departed into his own country.
