1 Maccabees 4:39 In-Context

37 So the whole army was assembled and went up to Mount Zion.

38 There they found the Temple abandoned, the altar profaned, the gates burned down, the courtyards grown up in a forest of weeds, and the priests' rooms torn down.

39 In their sorrow, they tore their clothes, cried loudly, threw ashes on their heads,

40 and fell face down on the ground. When the signal was given on the trumpets, everyone cried out to the Lord.

41 Then Judas ordered some of his soldiers to attack the men in the fort, while he purified the Temple.
