1 Maccabees 5:3-5

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³ But Judas made war on the descendants of Esau in Idumea, at Akrabattene, because they kept lying in wait for Israel. He dealt them a heavy blow and humbled them and despoiled them. ⁴ He also remembered the wickedness of the sons of Baean, who were a trap and a snare to the people and ambushed them on the highways. ⁵ They were shut up by him in their^[a] towers; and he encamped against them, vowed their complete destruction, and burned with fire their towers and all who were in them.
