1 Maccabees 5:30 In-Context

28 So Judas and his army suddenly turned and attacked Bozrah by the desert road, captured the town, and killed every man in it. They looted the town and set it on fire.

29 They left there and marched all night to the fortress at Dathema.

30 At dawn Judas and his men saw a vast army attacking the fortress; they were bringing up ladders, siege platforms, and battering rams in an effort to capture it.

31 When Judas heard the noise, the shouts, and the sound of trumpets coming from the city, he realized that the battle had begun,

32 so he said to his men, "Fight today for our fellow Jews!"
