1 Maccabees 1:33 In-Context

31 And when he had taken the spoils of the city, he set it on fire and pulled down the houses and walls thereof on every side.
32 But the women and children they took captive and seized the cattle.
33 Then they built the City of David with a great and strong wall and with mighty towers, and made it a stronghold for them.
34 And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein.
35 They stored it also with arms and victuals; and when they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid them up there, and so they became an evil snare.
