1 Maccabees 5:49 Context
46Now when they came unto Ephron, (this was a great city in the way as they should go, very well fortified) they could not turn from it, either on the right hand or the left, but must needs pass through the midst of it. 47Then they of the city shut them out, and stopped up the gates with stones. 48Whereupon Judas sent unto them in peaceable manner, saying, Let us pass through your land to go into our own country, and none shall do you any hurt; we will only pass through on foot: howbeit they would not open unto him. 49Wherefore Judas commanded a proclamation to be made throughout the host, that every man should pitch his tent in the place where he was. 50So the soldiers pitched, and assaulted the city all that day and all that night, till at the length the city was delivered into his hands: 51Who then slew all the males with the edge of the sword, and rased the city, and took the spoils thereof, and passed through the city over them that were slain. 52After this went they over Jordan into the great plain before Bethsan.
