1 Maccabees 6:49 Context
46Which done, he crept under the elephant, and thrust him under, and slew him: whereupon the elephant fell down upon him, and there he died. 47Howbeit the rest of the Jews seeing the strength of the king, and the violence of his forces, turned away from them. 48Then the king's army went up to Jerusalem to meet them, and the king pitched his tents against Judea, and against mount Sion. 49But with them that were in Bethsura he made peace: for they came out of the city, because they had no victuals there to endure the siege, it being a year of rest to the land. 50So the king took Bethsura, and set a garrison there to keep it. 51As for the sanctuary, he besieged it many days: and set there artillery with engines and instruments to cast fire and stones, and pieces to cast darts and slings. 52Whereupon they also made engines against their engines, and held them battle a long season.
