1 Maccabees 13:18

18 "It was because Simon did not send him the money and the sons, that Jonathan perished."

1 Maccabees 13:18 In-Context

16 Send now one hundred talents of silver and two of his sons as hostages, so that when released he will not revolt against us, and we will release him."

17 Simon knew that they were speaking deceitfully to him, but he sent to get the money and the sons, so that he would not arouse great hostility among the people, who might say,

18 "It was because Simon did not send him the money and the sons, that Jonathan perished."

19 So he sent the sons and the hundred talents, but Trypho broke his word and did not release Jonathan.

20 After this Trypho came to invade the country and destroy it, and he circled around by the way to Adora. But Simon and his army kept marching along opposite him to every place he went.
