1 Maccabees 6:24
23. We have been willing to serve thy father, and to do as he would have us, and to obey his commandments;24. For which cause they of our nation besiege the tower, and are alienated from us: moreover as many of us as they could light on they slew, and spoiled our inheritance.25. Neither have they stretched out their hand against us only, but also against their borders.
