1 Maccabees 10:12

12 Then the strangers who were in the fortresses which Bacchides had built fled away,

1 Maccabees 10:12 In-Context

10 This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and began to build and repair the city.

11 And he commanded the workmen to build the walls and Mount Zion round about with square stones for fortification; and they did so.

12 Then the strangers who were in the fortresses which Bacchides had built fled away,

13 insomuch that every man left his place and went into his own country.

14 Only at Beth-zur certain of those who had forsaken the law and the commandments remained still; for it was their place of refuge.
