46 Jonathan trusted him and did as he said; he sent away the troops, and they returned to the land of Judah.

1 Maccabees 12:46 In-Context

44 Then he said to Jonathan, "Why have you put all these people to so much trouble when we are not at war?
45 Dismiss them now to their homes and choose for yourself a few men to stay with you, and come with me to Ptolemais. I will hand it over to you as well as the other strongholds and the remaining troops and all the officials, and will turn around and go home. For that is why I am here."
46 Jonathan trusted him and did as he said; he sent away the troops, and they returned to the land of Judah.
47 He kept with himself three thousand men, two thousand of whom he left in Galilee, while one thousand accompanied him.
48 But when Jonathan entered Ptolemais, the people of Ptolemais closed the gates and seized him, and they killed with the sword all who had entered with him.
