Psalms 79:3

"Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem;

And there was none to bury them."

"There is no event in the history of the Hebrews to which this description would be more applicable than to the Babylonian invasion."[13] With most of the population being carried into captivity, there would have been no one left to bury the thousands of the slain.

"This whole verse happens to be quoted in 1 Maccabees 7:17; but priority in point of time obviously belongs to this psalm"[14]
