1 Maccabees 1:20 In-Context

18 and made war against Ptolemy king of Egypt. But Ptolemy was afraid of him and fled, and many were wounded to death.
19 Thus they got the strong cities in the land of Egypt, and he took the spoils thereof.
20 And after Antiochus had smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude,
21 and entered proudly into the sanctuary, and took away the golden altar, and the candlestick of light, and all the vessels thereof,
22 and the table for the showbread, and the pouring vessels, and the vials, and the censers of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornaments that were before the temple he pillaged all things.
