1 Maccabees 6:30

²⁸Now when the king heard this, he was angry, and gathered together all his friends, and the captains of his army, and those that had charge of the horse.

²⁹There came also unto him from other kingdoms, and from isles of the sea, bands of hired soldiers.

— 1 Maccabees 6:30 —

³¹These went through Idumea, and pitched against Beth-zur, which they assaulted many days, making engines; but they of Beth-zur came out, and burned them with fire, and fought valiantly.

³²Upon this Judas removed from the tower, and pitched in Beth-zechariah, over against the king’s camp.
