1 Maccabees 6:49-51

Wycliffe Bible

⁴⁹ and he made peace with these that were in Bethsura. And they went out of the city, for foods were not to them closed (up) (al)together there, for the sabbaths of (the) earth were.

⁵⁰ And the king took Bethsura, and ordained there (a) keeping, for to keep it.

⁵¹ And he turned the tents to the place of hallowing (for) many days (or And he turned the host, to besiege the Temple for many days); and ordained there arblasts (or arrow-blasters), and engines, and darts, or castings, of fire, and torments for to cast stones and darts, and scorpions for to shoot arrows, and slings.
