1 Maccabees 1:34

34 And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein.

1 Maccabees 1:34 In-Context

32 But the women and children they took captive and seized the cattle.

33 Then they built the City of David with a great and strong wall and with mighty towers, and made it a stronghold for them.

34 And they put therein a sinful nation, wicked men, and fortified themselves therein.

35 They stored it also with arms and victuals; and when they had gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem, they laid them up there, and so they became an evil snare.

36 For it was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil adversary to Israel.
