¹⁹ Judas therefore resolved to bring about their destruction, and he mobilized all the people to besiege them. ²⁰ They assembled and stormed the citadel in the year one hundred and fifty, employing catapults and engines of war whose construction he had ordered. ²¹ Some of those besieged in the garrison escaped, joined by some godless Israelites.
