1 Maccabees 9:51

⁴⁹So there were slain of Bacchides’ side that day about a thousand men.

⁵⁰Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem and repaired the strong cites in Judea; the fort in Jericho, and Emmaus, and Bethhoron, and Bethel, and Thamnatha, Pharathoni, and Taphon, these did he strengthen with high walls, with gates and with bars.

⁵²He fortified also the city Bethsura, and Gazera, and the tower, and put forces in them, and provision of victuals.

⁵³Besides, he took the chief men’s sons in the country for hostages, and put them into the tower at Jerusalem to be kept.
