1 Maccabees 13:41-43

Wycliffe Bible

⁴¹ In the hundred year and seventieth, the yoke of (the) heathen men was taken away from Israel.

⁴² And the people began to write in tables (or on tablets), and common [or open] doings, in the first year under Simon, (the) highest priest, (the) great duke, and prince of (the) Jews.

⁴³ In those days Simon applied to Gazara (or encamped at Gazara), and environed it with tents, either men of armours, [or men of arms], (or with armed men), and made engines, and applied to the city (and set them close to the city), and smote one tower [or and smote a tower], and took it.
