1 Maccabees 1:24–29

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.

²⁵And he made a great slaughter of men, and spoke very proudly.

²⁶And there was great mourning in Israel, and in every place where they were:

²⁷And the princes, and the ancients mourned, and the virgins and the young men were made feeble, and the beauty of the women was changed.

²⁸Every bridegroom took up lamentation: and the bride that sat in the marriage bed, mourned:

²⁹And the land was moved for the inhabitants thereof, and all the house of Jacob was covered with confusion.
