WOE, WOE TO JERUSALEM Two more years went by, two dreadful, bloody years.

In Jerusalem the factions tore each other.

In Galilee let the Jewish leader Josephus, under whom Caleb was fighting, do what he would, Vespasian and his generals stormed city after city, massacring their inhabitants by thousands and tens of thousands.

In the coast towns and elsewhere Syrians and Jews made war.

The Jews assaulted Gadara and Gaulonitis, Sebaste and Ascalon, Anthedon and Gaza, putting many to the sword.
Then came their own turn, for the Syrians and Greeks rose upon them and slaughtered them without mercy.
