1 Maccabees 1:35-37

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁵ And they built the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with strong towers, and made it a fortress for them:

³⁶ And they placed there a sinful nation, wicked men, and they fortified themselves therein: and they stored up armour, and victuals, and gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem;

³⁷ And laid them up there: and they became a great snare.
