1 Maccabees 9:63

63 When Bacchides learned of this, he assembled all his forces, and sent orders to the men of Judea.

1 Maccabees 9:63 In-Context

61 And Jonathan's men seized about fifty of the men of the country who were leaders in this treachery, and killed them.

62 Then Jonathan with his men, and Simon, withdrew to Bethbasi in the wilderness; he rebuilt the parts of it that had been demolished, and they fortified it.

63 When Bacchides learned of this, he assembled all his forces, and sent orders to the men of Judea.

64 Then he came and encamped against Bethbasi; he fought against it for many days and made machines of war.

65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the town, while he went out into the country; and he went with only a few men.
