They were trying in every way to harm them and strengthen the Gentiles. 19 Judas therefore resolved to destroy them, and assembled all the people to besiege them. 20 They gathered together and besieged the citadel[a] in the one hundred and fiftieth year;[b] and he built siege-towers and other engines of war.
