1 Maccabees 5:28-30

Common English Bible

²⁸ So Judas and his army turned back quickly to Bozrah by the wilderness road. He took the town and killed every male by the sword. He seized all their goods and burned down the town. 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.
