1 Maccabees 10:43-45

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴³ And whosoever shall flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, and in all the borders thereof, being indebted to the king for any matter, let them be set at liberty, and all that they have in my kingdom, let them have it free.

⁴⁴ For the building also, or repairing the works of the holy places, the charges shall be given out of the king's revenues:

⁴⁵ For the building also of the walls of Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round about, the charges shall be given out of the king's account, as also for the building of the walls in Judea.
