2 Maccabees 10:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ And whereas some were fled into very strong towers, having all manner of provision to sustain a siege,

¹⁹ Machabeus left Simon and Joseph, and Zacheus, and them that were with them in sufficient number to besiege them, and departed to those expeditions which urged more.

²⁰ Now they that were with Simon, being led with covetousness, were persuaded for the sake of money by some that were in the towers: and taking seventy thousand didrachmas, let some of them escape.
