1 Maccabees 15:12-14

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹² for he knew that troubles had converged upon him, and his troops had deserted him. ¹³ So Anti′ochus encamped against Dor, and with him were a hundred and twenty thousand warriors and eight thousand cavalry. ¹⁴ He surrounded the city, and the ships joined battle from the sea; he pressed the city hard from land and sea, and permitted no one to leave or enter it.
