So Jonathan sent three thousand stalwart men to him at Antioch, and when they came to the king, the king rejoiced at their arrival.
45
Then the men of the city assembled within the city, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand, and they wanted to kill the king.
46
But the king fled into the palace. Then the men of the city seized the main streets of the city and began to fight.
47
So the king called the Jews to his aid, and they all rallied about him and then spread out through the city; and they killed on that day as many as a hundred thousand men.
48
They set fire to the city and seized much spoil on that day, and they saved the king.
49
When the men of the city saw that the Jews had gained control of the city as they pleased, their courage failed and they cried out to the king with this entreaty,
50
"Grant us peace, and make the Jews stop fighting against us and our city."
51
And they threw down their arms and made peace. So the Jews gained glory in the eyes of the king and of all the people in his kingdom, and they returned to Jerusalem with much spoil.
52
So Demetrius the king sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.
53
But he broke his word about all that he had promised; and he became estranged from Jonathan and did not repay the favors which Jonathan had done him, but oppressed him greatly.
54
After this Trypho returned, and with him the young boy Antiochus who began to reign and put on the crown.
