1 Maccabees 13:20-22

New Catholic Bible

²⁰ Next, Trypho set out to invade and ravage the country. He made a detour along the road that leads to Adora,^[a] but Simon and his army kept marching opposite him every place he went.

²¹ The men in the citadel sent messages to Trypho, urging him to come to their aid by way of the desert and to send them supplies. ²² Trypho prepared his entire cavalry force to go, but that night it snowed so heavily that he was unable to proceed. Therefore, he withdrew into Gilead.
