1 Maccabees 5:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ He also remembered the wickedness of the sons of Baean,^[a] who had proved to be a snare and a stumbling block to the people with their ambushes on the roads. ⁵ Having blockaded them in their towers, he vowed to effect their total destruction. Then he set ablaze their towers with all the people in them. ⁶ Next, he crossed over to attack the Ammonites,^[b] where he was confronted by a strong army and a large crowd of people, with Timothy as their leader.
