1 Machabees 1:35-38 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

35. And they built the city of David with a great and strong wall, and with strong towers, and made it a fortress for them:

36. And they placed there a sinful nation, wicked men, and they fortified themselves therein: and they stored up armour, and victuals, and gathered together the spoils of Jerusalem;

37. And laid them up there: and they became a great snare.

38. And this was a place to lie in wait against the sanctuary, and an evil devil in Israel.
