1 Maccabees 12:43

Listen to 1 Maccabees 12:43
43 So he received Jonathan with all honors, presented him to all his advisers, gave him gifts, and ordered his advisers and soldiers to obey Jonathan as they would him.

1 Maccabees 12:43 In-Context

41 But Jonathan also came to Beth Shan with 40,000 well-trained soldiers.
42 When Trypho saw how large an army Jonathan had brought with him, he was afraid to take action.
43 So he received Jonathan with all honors, presented him to all his advisers, gave him gifts, and ordered his advisers and soldiers to obey Jonathan as they would him.
44 He asked Jonathan, "Why have you put these soldiers to so much trouble when we are not at war?
45 Why don't you send them home? Choose a few men to stay with you, and then accompany me to Ptolemais. I will hand the city over to you, as well as the rest of the fortresses, the troops, and all the officials. Then I will turn around and leave. In fact, that's why I am here."
