31Nicanor also, when he saw that his counsel was discovered, went out to fight against Judas beside Caphar-salama:
32and there were slain of Nicanor’s side about five thousand men, and the rest fled into the city of David.
— 1 Maccabees 7:33 —
34But he mocked them, and laughed at them, and abused them shamefully, and spoke proudly,
35and swore in his wrath, saying, Unless Judas and his host be now delivered into my hands, if ever I come again in safety, I will burn up this house: and with that he went out in a great rage.
