1 Maccabees 1:35-37
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
35 they stored up arms and food, and, collecting the spoils of Jerusalem, they stored them there and became a great menace,
36 for the citadel[a] became an ambush against the sanctuary,
an evil adversary of Israel at all times.(A)
37 On every side of the sanctuary they shed innocent blood;
they even defiled the sanctuary.(B)
