1 Maccabees 12:41 Context

³⁹Now Tryphon went about to get the kingdome of Asia, and to kill Antiochus the king, that hee might set the crowne vpon his owne head. ⁴⁰Howbeit, he was afraid that Ionathan would not suffer him, and that he would fight against him, wherefore he sought a way, howe to take Ionathan, that he might kill him. So he remoued, and came to Bethsan. ⁴¹Then Ionathan went out to meet him with fourtie thousand men, chosen for the battell, and came to Bethsan. ⁴²Now when Tryphon saw that Ionathan came with so great a force, hee durst not stretch his hande against him, ⁴³But receiued him honourably, and cōmended him vnto all his friends, and gaue him gifts, and commaunded his men of warre to be as obedient vnto him, as to himselfe.
