2 Maccabees 12:11-13

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹¹ After a hard fight Judas and his men won the victory, by the help of God. The defeated nomads besought Judas to grant them pledges of friendship, promising to give him cattle and to help his people^[a] in all other ways. ¹² Judas, thinking that they might really be useful in many ways, agreed to make peace with them; and after receiving his pledges they departed to their tents.

¹³ He also attacked a certain city which was strongly fortified with earthworks^[b] and walls, and inhabited by all sorts of Gentiles. Its name was Caspin.
