1 Maccabees 6:30-32

Good News Translation

³⁰ His forces numbered 100,000 infantry, 20,000 cavalry, and 32 elephants trained for war. ³¹ The king and his army passed through Idumea and laid siege to Bethzur, where they fought for a long time. They built battering rams and siege platforms, but the defenders fought bravely and came out of the town and burned down the platforms.

³² Then Judas withdrew his troops from the fort in Jerusalem and set up his camp at Beth Zechariah, blocking the advance of the king's army.
