1 Maccabees 1:33

33 Then they fortified the city of David with a great strong wall and strong towers, and it became their citadel.

1 Maccabees 1:33 In-Context

31 He plundered the city, burned it with fire, and tore down its houses and its surrounding walls.
32 And they took captive the women and children, and seized the cattle.
33 Then they fortified the city of David with a great strong wall and strong towers, and it became their citadel.
34 And they stationed there a sinful people, lawless men. These strengthened their position;
35 they stored up arms and food, and collecting the spoils of Jerusalem they stored them there, and became a great snare.
