1 Maccabees 5:26-28
Revised Standard Version
26 “Many of them have been shut up in Bozrah and Bosor, in Al′ema and Chaspho, Maked and Car′naim”— all these cities were strong and large— 27 “and some have been shut up in the other cities of Gil′ead; the enemy[a] are getting ready to attack the strongholds tomorrow and take and destroy all these men in one day.”
28 Then Judas and his army quickly turned back by the wilderness road to Bozrah; and he took the city, and killed every male by the edge of the sword; then he seized all its spoils and burned it with fire.
