1 Maccabees 10:85

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

1 Maccabees 10:85 In-Context

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.
86 And from thence Jonathan removed his host and encamped against Askalon, where the men of the city came forth and met him with great pomp.
87 After this Jonathan returned with his host unto Jerusalem, having many spoils.
