I Maccabees 7:47

And they took the spoils of them for a booty, and they cut off Nicanor's head, and his right hand, which he had proudly stretched out, and they brought it, and hung it up over-against Jerusalem.

Jerusalem, and the temple, without the walls. His tongue was given to the birds, 2 Machabees 15:33. (Calmet)
