1 Maccabees 11:24 In-Context

22 When he heard this he was angry, and as soon as he heard it he set out and came to Ptolemais; and he wrote Jonathan not to continue the siege, but to meet him for a conference at Ptolemais as quickly as possible.

23 When Jonathan heard this, he gave orders to continue the siege. He chose some of the elders of Israel and some of the priests, and put himself in danger,

24 for he went to the king at Ptolemais, taking silver and gold and clothing and numerous other gifts. And he won his favor.

25 Although certain renegades of his nation kept making complaints against him,

26 the king treated him as his predecessors had treated him; he exalted him in the presence of all his Friends.
