1 Maccabees 9:32 In-Context

30 Now therefore we have chosen you today to take his place as our ruler and leader, to fight our battle."

31 So Jonathan accepted the leadership at that time in place of his brother Judas.

32 When Bacchides learned of this, he tried to kill him.

33 But Jonathan and his brother Simon and all who were with him heard of it, and they fled into the wilderness of Tekoa and camped by the water of the pool of Asphar.

34 Bacchides found this out on the sabbath day, and he with all his army crossed the Jordan.
