1 Maccabees 5:3–5

New Revised Standard Version: Updated EditionOther versions

3But Judas made war on the descendants of Esau in Idumea, at Akrabattene, because they kept lying in wait for Israel. He dealt them a heavy blow and humbled them and despoiled them.* 4He also remembered the wickedness of the sons of Baean, who were a trap and a snare to the people and ambushed them on the highways. 5They were shut up by him in towers, and he encamped against them, vowed their complete destruction, and burned with fire their towers and all who were in them.*
