At this treatment Pompey was very angry, and took Aristobulus into
custody. And when he was come to the city, he looked about where he might
make his attack; for he saw the walls were so firm, that it would be hard
to overcome them; and that the valley before the walls was terrible; and
that the temple, which was within that valley, was itself encompassed with
a very strong wall, insomuch that if the city were taken, that temple would
be a second place of refuge for the enemy to retire to.
