ગુજરાતી2 કાળવૃતાંત ૨૬:૧૫
તેણે યરુશાલેમમાં બુરજો પર, મોરચાઓ પર ગોઠવવા માટે બાણો તથા મોટા પથ્થરો ફેંકવા માટે બાહોશ કારીગરો દ્વારા યાંત્રિક ઉપકરણો બનાવડાવ્યા. તેની કીર્તિ ઘણે દૂર સુધી ફેલાઈ ગઈ, કેમ કે તે બળવાન થયો ત્યાં સુધી અજાયબ રીતે તેને સહાય મળી હતી.
हिन्दी2 इतिहास २६:१५
फिर उसने यरूशलेम में गुम्मटों और कंगूरों पर रखने को चतुर पुरुषों के निकाले हुए यन्त्र भी बनवाए जिनके द्वारा तीर और बड़े-बड़े पत्थर फेंके जाते थे। उसकी कीर्ति दूर-दूर तक फैल गई, क्योंकि उसे अद्भुत सहायता यहाँ तक मिली कि वह सामर्थी हो गया।
