1 Maccabees 5:5-7

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁵ They were shut up by him in their^[a] towers; and he encamped against them, vowed their complete destruction, and burned with fire their towers and all who were in them. ⁶ Then he crossed over to attack the Ammonites, where he found a strong band and many people, with Timothy as their leader. ⁷ He engaged in many battles with them, and they were crushed before him; he struck them down.
