1 Maccabees 12:48-50

Common English Bible

⁴⁸ But when Jonathan entered Ptolemais, the people there closed the gates and captured him, and killed with their swords all those who had entered with him.

⁴⁹ Trypho then sent infantry and cavalry into Galilee and the great plain to destroy Jonathan’s soldiers. ⁵⁰ But Jonathan’s forces believed that Jonathan had been seized and had died along with his troops. They encouraged each other and kept marching in tight formation, ready for fighting.
