Then the people 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 people 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 around him and then spread out through the city; and they killed on that day about one hundred thousand.
48
They set fire to the city and seized a large amount of spoil on that day, and saved the king.
49
When the people 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 sight of the king and of all the people in his kingdom, and they returned to Jerusalem with a large amount of spoil.
52
So King Demetrius 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; he became estranged from Jonathan and did not repay the favors that Jonathan had done him, but treated him very harshly.
54
After this Trypho returned, and with him the young boy Antiochus who began to reign and put on the crown.
55
All the troops that Demetrius had discharged gathered around him; they fought against Demetrius, and he fled and was routed.
