1 Maccabees 10:9 In-Context

7 So Jonathan went to Jerusalem and read the letter to all the people and to the men in the fort.

8 These men were terrified when they learned that the king had given Jonathan authority to raise an army.

9 They handed the hostages over to him, and he returned them to their parents.

10 Jonathan set up headquarters in Jerusalem and began to rebuild and restore the city.

11 He ordered the builders to use squared stones for the city walls and for the protecting wall around Mount Zion. This was done.
