1 Maccabees 5:2-4

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

² And they thought to destroy the generation of Jacob that were among them, and they began to kill some of the people, and to persecute them.

³ Then Judas fought against the children of Esau in Idumea, and them that were in Acrabathane: because they beset the Israelites around about, and he made a great slaughter of them.

⁴ And he remembered the malice of the children of Bean: who were a snare and a stumblingblock to the people, by lying in wait for them in the way.
