1 Maccabees 5:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ Then Judas and his army suddenly turned their march into the desert, to Bosor, and took the city: and he slew every male by the edge of the sword, and took all their spoils, and burnt it with fire.

²⁹ And they removed from thence by night, and went till they came to the fortress.

³⁰ And it came to pass that early in the morning, when they lifted up their eyes, behold there were people without number, carrying ladders and engines to take the fortress, and assault them.
