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.
39. And they shed innocent blood round about the sanctuary, and defiled the holy place.
