1 Maccabees 11:6-8

Good News Translation

⁶ Jonathan, with all the proper ceremony, went to Joppa to meet him. They exchanged greetings and spent the night there. ⁷ Jonathan accompanied him as far as the Eleutherus River before returning to Jerusalem. ⁸ In this way King Ptolemy, in his plot against Alexander, took control of the towns along the coast as far north as Seleucia-by-the-sea.
