1 Maccabees 11:5 In-Context

3 But as Ptolemy moved north, he stationed a detachment of troops in each town.
4 When he reached Azotus, the people there showed him the burned ruins of the temple of Dagon and all the destruction in the city and the surrounding towns. There were corpses everywhere. The bodies of the men Jonathan had burned to death during the battle were now stacked up along Ptolemy's route.
5 The people told him what Jonathan had done, hoping that he would hold him responsible, but Ptolemy said nothing.
6 Jonathan, with all the proper ceremony, went to Joppa to meet him. They exchanged greetings and spent the night there.
7 Jonathan accompanied him as far as the Eleutherus River before returning to Jerusalem.
