20 And he took hold of the fortified cities in the land of Egypt, and he received the spoils of the land of Egypt.
21 And Antiochus turned back, after he struck Egypt, in the one hundred and forty-third year, and he ascended against Israel.
22 And he ascended to Jerusalem, with an oppressive multitude.
23 And he entered into the sanctuary with arrogance, and he took the golden altar, and the lampstand of light, and all the vessels, and the table for the bread of the Presence, and the vessels of libation, and the vials, and the little mortars of gold, and the veil, and the crowns, and the golden ornament, which was at the face of the temple. And he crushed them all.
24 And he took the silver and gold, and the precious vessels, and he took the hidden treasures, which he found. And having taken all these things away, he departed into his own land.
25 And he caused a massacre of men, and he was speaking with great arrogance.
26 And there was great wailing in Israel and in all of their places.
