1 Maccabees 10:83

83 The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to Azotus and went into Beth-dagon, their idol's temple, for safety.

1 Maccabees 10:83 In-Context

81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had commanded them; and so the enemies' horses were tired.

82 Then Simon brought forth his host and set them against the footmen (for the horsemen were spent), who were discomfited by him and fled.

83 The horsemen also, being scattered in the field, fled to Azotus and went into Beth-dagon, their idol's temple, for safety.

84 But Jonathan set fire to Azotus and the cities round about it, and took their spoils; and the temple of Dagon, with those who had fled into it, he burned with fire.

85 Thus there were burned and slain with the sword well nigh eight thousand men.
