1 Maccabees 9:70
King James VersionSource notes
“Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadors unto him, to the end he should make peace with him, and deliver them the prisoners.”
Context
67And when he began to smite them, and came up with his forces, Simon and his company went out of the city, and burned up the engines of war,
68And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore: for his counsel and travail was in vain.
69Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gave him counsel to come into the country, inasmuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to return into his own country.
70Whereof when Jonathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadors unto him, to the end he should make peace with him, and deliver them the prisoners.
71Which thing he accepted, and did according to his demands, and sware unto him that he would never do him harm all the days of his life.
72When therefore he had restored unto him the prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Judea, he returned and went his way into his own land, neither came he any more into their borders.
73Thus the sword ceased from Israel: but Jonathan dwelt at Machmas, and began to govern the people; and he destroyed the ungodly men out of Israel.
