1 Maccabees 1:33–36

The Revised Standard Version, Catholic EditionOther versions

33Then they fortified the city of David with a great strong wall and strong towers, and it became their citadel. 34And they stationed there a sinful people, lawless men. These strengthened their position; 35they stored up arms and food, and collecting the spoils of Jerusalem they stored them there, and became a great snare.

36It became an ambush against the sanctuary,

an evil adversary of Israel continually.
