1 Maccabees 9:31 Context
29Since thy brother Iudas died, we haue no man like him to goe foorth against our enemies, and Bacchides, and against them of our nation that are aduersaries to vs. 30Now therefore wee haue chosen thee this day to be our prince, and captaine in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battels. 31Upon this, Ionathan tooke the gouernance vpon him at that time, and rose vp in stead of his brother Iudas. 32But when Bacchides gat knowledge thereof, he sought for to slay him. 33Then Ionathan and Simon his brother, and all that were with him, perceiuing that, fled into the wildernes of Thecoe, and pitched their tents by the water of the poole Asphar.
