2 Maccabees 13:19 In-Context

17 just before dawn. The help and protection of the Lord had made all this possible.

18 This taste of Jewish daring was enough to convince King Antiochus that he had to find some better way of capturing the Jewish positions.

19 He attacked the strong Jewish fort of Bethzur, but was repeatedly beaten back and finally defeated.

20 Judas sent supplies to the men who were defending the fort,

21 but a Jewish soldier by the name of Rhodocus gave some secret information to the enemy. He was found out, however, caught, and put to death.
