1 Maccabees 9:70

1 Maccabees 9:70 Context

⁶⁸And fought against Bacchides, who was discomfited by them, and they afflicted him sore. For his counsell and trauaile was in vaine. ⁶⁹Wherefore he was very wroth at the wicked men that gaue him counsell to come into the countrey, insomuch as he slew many of them, and purposed to returne into his owne countrey. ⁷⁰Whereof when Ionathan had knowledge, he sent ambassadours vnto him, to the end he should make peace with him, & deliuer them the prisoners. ⁷¹Which thing hee accepted, and did according to his demaunds, and sware vnto him that hee would neuer doe him harme all the dayes of his life. ⁷²When therefore hee had restored vnto him the prisoners that he had taken aforetime out of the land of Iudea, he returned and went his way into his owne land, neither came he any more into their borders.
