1 Maccabees 5:3-5

Common English Bible

³ But Judas waged war on the descendants of Esau in Idumea at Akrabattene because they kept ambushing Israelites. He dealt them a heavy blow, humbling them and taking their goods. ⁴ He also took note of the wickedness of Baean’s sons, who were trapping, catching, and ambushing people on the highways. ⁵ Judas shut them up in their towers. He camped against them, and by promising their complete destruction, he burned their towers and all who were in them.
