1 Maccabees 12:50 In-Context

48 But when Jonathan entered Ptolemais, the people there closed the gates and captured him, and killed with their swords all those who had entered with him.

49 Trypho then sent infantry and cavalry into Galilee and the great plain to destroy Jonathan's soldiers.

50 But Jonathan's forces believed that Jonathan had been seized and had died along with his troops. They encouraged each other and kept marching in tight formation, ready for fighting.

51 When their pursuers saw that they would fight for their lives, they turned back.

52 So they all reached the land of Judah safely. They mourned for Jonathan and his companions, and they were very anxious. All Israel mourned deeply.
