1 Maccabees 10:12–14

¹²Then the strangers that were in the strong holds, which Bacchides had built, fled away.

¹³And every man left his place, and departed into his own country:

¹⁴Only in Bethsura there remained some of them, that had forsaken the law, and the commandments of God: for this was a place of refuge for them.
