1 Maccabees 1:33-35

Good News Translation

³³ Then Antiochus and his forces built high walls and strong towers in the area north of the Temple, turning it into a fort. ³⁴ They brought in a group of traitorous Jews and installed them there. ³⁵ They also brought in arms and supplies and stored in the fort all the loot that they had taken in Jerusalem. This fort became a great threat to the city.
