1 Maccabees 1:33–36

New Revised Standard Version: Updated EditionOther versions

33Then they fortified the city of David with a large strong wall and strong towers, and it became their citadel.* 34They stationed there a sinful nation, men who were renegades. These strengthened their position;* 35they stored up arms and food, and, collecting the spoils of Jerusalem, they stored them there and became a great menace,

36for the citadelb became an ambush against the sanctuary,

an evil adversary of Israel at all times.*
