2 Maccabees 13:20 In-Context

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.

22 The king made a second attempt to come to terms with the people of Bethzur, and when he had reached an agreement with them, he withdrew his forces. Then he went to attack Judas, but again he was defeated.
