1 Maccabees 5:4-6

Good News Translation

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.
