Common English Bible
53 The king’s inspectors[a] drove Israel into hiding in every place of refuge they had available.
54 Now on the fifteenth day of Kislev,[b] in the year 145, they set up a disgusting and destructive thing on the altar for entirely burned offerings in the sanctuary. The inspectors[c] built other altars in the surrounding Judean towns. 55 They burned incense at the doors of houses and in the streets.
