1 Maccabees 5:26

26 "Many of them have been shut up in Bozrah and Bosor, in Alema and Chaspho, Maked and Carnaim"—all these towns were strong and large—

1 Maccabees 5:26 In-Context

24 Judas Maccabeus and his brother Jonathan crossed the Jordan and made three days' journey into the wilderness.

25 They encountered the Nabateans, who met them peaceably and told them all that had happened to their kindred in Gilead:

26 "Many of them have been shut up in Bozrah and Bosor, in Alema and Chaspho, Maked and Carnaim"—all these towns were strong and large—

27 "and some have been shut up in the other towns of Gilead; the enemy are getting ready to attack the strongholds tomorrow and capture and destroy all these people in a single day."

28 Then Judas and his army quickly turned back by the wilderness road to Bozrah; and he took the town, and killed every male by the edge of the sword; then he seized all its spoils and burned it with fire.
