1 Maccabees 6:47-49

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁷ Then they seeing the strength of the king and the fierceness of his army, turned away from them.

⁴⁸ But the king's army went up against them to Jerusalem: and the king's army pitched their tents against Judea and mount Sion.

⁴⁹ And he made peace with them that were in Bethsura: and they came forth out of the city, because they had no victuals, being shut up there, for it was the year of rest to the land.
