1 Maccabees 12:32-34

Wycliffe Bible

³² and [he] joined in gathering together his host, and came to Damascus, and walked by (or through) all that country.

³³ Forsooth Simon went out, and came till to Ascalon, and to the next strengths (or to the next strongholds); and he bowed down into Joppa, and occupied it.

³⁴ For he heard, that they would give (the) help (or the stronghold) to (the) parties (or to the supporters) of Demetrius; and he putted there keepers, for to keep it.
