1 Maccabees 15:29

29 You have devastated their territory, you have done great damage in the land, and you have taken possession of many places in my kingdom.

1 Maccabees 15:29 In-Context

27 But he refused to receive them, and broke all the agreements he formerly had made with Simon, and became estranged from him.

28 He sent to him Athenobius, one of his Friends, to confer with him, saying, "You hold control of Joppa and Gazara and the citadel in Jerusalem; they are cities of my kingdom.

29 You have devastated their territory, you have done great damage in the land, and you have taken possession of many places in my kingdom.

30 Now then, hand over the cities that you have seized and the tribute money of the places that you have conquered outside the borders of Judea;

31 or else pay me five hundred talents of silver for the destruction that you have caused and five hundred talents more for the tribute money of the cities. Otherwise we will come and make war on you."
