9 The inhabitants in the elevated fortress released the hostages to Jonathan, and he returned them to their parents.

10 Jonathan took up residence in Jerusalem and began to rebuild and restore the city.

11 He directed the workers to build the walls and encircle Mount Zion with squared stones for better reinforcement, which they did.

13 All of them left their places and returned to their own lands.
