2 Maccabees 12:11-13

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹¹ And after a hard fight, in which by the help of God they got the victory, the rest of the Arabians being overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising to give him pastures, and to assist him in other things.

¹² And Judas thinking that they might be profitable indeed in many things, promised them peace, and after having joined hands, they departed to their tents.

¹³ He also laid siege to a certain strong city, encompassed with bridges and walls, and inhabited by multitudes of different nations, the name of which is Casphin.
