1 Maccabees 15:11-14 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

11. And king Antiochus followed him as he fled along the sea coast and came to Dora.

12. For he knew that evils had gathered together upon him, and that his troops had forsaken him.

13. And Antiochus took up a position above Dora, with one hundred and twenty thousand men of warfare and eight thousand horsemen.

14. And he encircled the city, and the ships drew near by sea. And they assailed the city by land and by sea, and they permitted no one to go in or out.
