1 Maccabees 10:74 In-Context

72 Ask and learn who I am, and the rest who take our part. And they shall tell thee that thy foot is not able to stand before our face; for thy fathers have been twice put to flight in their own land.

73 Therefore now thou shalt not be able to abide the horsemen and so great a power in the plain, where is neither stone nor flint, nor place to flee unto."

74 So when Jonathan heard these words of Apollonius, he was moved in his mind and, choosing ten thousand men, he went out of Jerusalem where Simon his brother met him to help him.

75 And he pitched his tents against Joppa; but they of Joppa shut him out of the city, because Apollonius had a garrison there.

76 Then Jonathan laid siege against it, whereupon they of the city let him in out of fear; and so Jonathan won Joppa.
