The first being Petronius and his men, who were suppose to place a statue of Caligula all over the known world, and the second being Vespasian and his men, who were sent by Nero to stop all the revolts of the Jews and conquer everything for Rome.

When Caesar Caligula ordered that General Petronius was to place the Caligula statues throughout the known world the Jews in Makor were distressed. They did not want a graven image of anything put in their town. They worshipped God and no one else. When Yigal heard about what was going to happen he went to the leader of the town, Simeon, an old wise man, and told him that they must resist the forces of Petronius.

Josephus was a strong man, so he was named General Josephus, and he was to lead them against the Romans. General Josephus prepared the town of Makor for every sort of attack that they might get from the Romans. But when Vespasian and his men showed up at the walls of Makor, General Josephus pushed Yigal forward and pretended that Yigal was in charge, yet Josephus told Yigal what to say.

For many days the Roman armies challenged Makor, and many times the Roman's were the people with the casualties. Day after day General Vespasian continued to ask the people of Makor to surrender and day after day they said, "No, we will never surrender".

Suddenly one day, General Josephus said that he must leave and he was taking Naaman with him. They were betraying the town of Makor. General Josephus had men dig him a tunnel from down in the hidden well to outside the Roman camp. Yigal watched as Josephus and Naaman left the town and crawled through the small tunnel to freedom. When they came out on the other end they did not cover the hole up very well, and Yigal was afraid that the Roman armies would find the hole and destroy them.
