1 Maccabees 11:4

4 When he approached Azotus, they showed him that Dagon's temple had been burned. Azotus and its suburbs had been destroyed. Corpses were lying about, the charred bodies of those whom Jonathan had burned in the war. They had piled them in heaps along his route.

1 Maccabees 11:4 In-Context

2 Ptolemy set out for Syria, speaking peaceful words. The people of the towns opened their gates to him. They went to meet him because King Alexander had commanded them to do so, since Ptolemy was his father-in-law.
3 But when Ptolemy entered the towns, he stationed forces as a garrison in each one.
4 When he approached Azotus, they showed him that Dagon's temple had been burned. Azotus and its suburbs had been destroyed. Corpses were lying about, the charred bodies of those whom Jonathan had burned in the war. They had piled them in heaps along his route.
5 They also told the king what Jonathan had done to throw blame on him. But the king kept silent.
6 Jonathan met the king at Joppa with great ceremony. They greeted each other and spent the night there.
