Translation commentary on 1 Maccabees 15:29

You have devastated their territory may be expressed as “You have ruined the land around these towns” (Contemporary English Version).

You have done great damage in the land is rendered well by Good News Bible.

And you have taken possession of many places in my kingdom: You have taken possession may be translated “You have seized control of” (Good News Bible). The many places are not specified, but they could be Azotus (1Macc 10.84), Gaza (1Macc 11.61-62), Bethzur (1Macc 11.65-66), Adida (1Macc 12.38), or at least the regions in Samaria (1Macc 11.28).
