1 Maccabees 5:29-31

Common English Bible

²⁹ He left there by night and went all the way to the fortress. ³⁰ At daybreak they looked around and saw a large company, too many to count, carrying ladders and war engines to use to capture the fortress. They were attacking those inside. ³¹ So Judas saw that the battle had already begun and that the cries of the townspeople went up to heaven. There were trumpet blasts and loud shouts.
