1 Maccabees 5:5 In-Context

3 The Idumeans were blockading the Israelites, so Judas went to war against them at Akrabattene, crushed them, and looted them.

4 He also dealt with the people of Baean, who were a constant threat to the people of Israel, because they would lie in ambush waiting to trap Israelite travelers.

5 He shut the Baeanites up in their forts, took a solemn oath that he would destroy them, and burned their forts with everyone in them.

6 Then he marched against the land of Ammon, where he met a large and powerful army under the command of a man named Timothy.

7 Judas won many battles against them and finally defeated them.
