Finally, our men took possession of the walls and towers, and wonderful sights were to be seen. Some of
our men (and this was more merciful) cut off the heads of their enemies; others shot them with arrows, so
that they fell from the towers. It was necessary to pick one's way over the bodies of men and horses. In the
Temple of Solomon, men rode in blood up to their knees and bridle reins. Indeed, it was a just and splendid
judgment of God that this place should be filled with the blood of the unbelievers, since it had suffered so
long from their blasphemies. Some of the enemy took refuge in the Tower of David, and, petitioning Count
Raymond for protection, surrendered the Tower into his hands.
