Renewed Attacks from Syria
18 Now the men in the citadel kept hemming Israel in around the sanctuary. They were trying in every way to harm them and strengthen the Gentiles. 19 So Judas decided 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.
