¹⁰ Jason had killed many people and left their bodies unburied, but now his own death was unmourned. He was not given a funeral or even buried with his ancestors.

Antiochus Attacks Jerusalem^(A)

¹¹ When the news of what had happened in Jerusalem reached Antiochus, he thought the whole country of Judea was in revolt, and he became as furious as a wild animal. So he left Egypt and took Jerusalem by storm, ¹² giving his men orders to cut down without mercy everyone they met and to slaughter anyone they found hiding in the houses.
