1 Maccabees 12:46-50
-
46 So Jonathan believing him did as he bade him, and sent away his host, who went into the land of Judea.
-
47 And with himself he retained but three thousand men, of whom he sent two thousand into Galilee, and one thousand went with him.
-
48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais shut the gates and took him, and all them that came with him they slew with the sword.
-
49 Then sent Tryphon an host of footmen and horsemen into Galilee, and into the great plain, to destroy all Jonathan's company.
-
50 But when they knew that Jonathan and they that were with him were taken and slain, they encouraged one another; and went close together, prepared to fight.
