1 Maccabees 15:37 Context

³⁵And whereas thou demaundest Ioppe and Gazara; albeit they did great harme vnto the people in our countrey, yet will we giue an hundred talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius answered him not a word, ³⁶But returned in a rage to the king, and made report vnto him of these speaches, and of the glory of Simon, and of all that hee had seene: whereupon the king was exceeding wroth. ³⁷In the meane time fled Tryphon by ship vnto Orthosias. ³⁸Then the king made Cendebeus captaine of the sea coast, and gaue him an hoste of footmen and horsemen, ³⁹And commanded him to remoue his hoste toward Iudea: also hee commanded him to build vp Cedron, and to fortifie the gates, & to warre against the people, but as for the king [himselfe] he pursued Tryphon.
