1 Maccabees 10:9 In-Context

7 Then came Jonathan to Jerusalem, and read the letters in the hearing of all the people and of those who were in the tower,

8 who were sore afraid when they heard that the king had given him authority to gather together a host.

9 Thereupon they of the tower delivered their hostages unto Jonathan, and he delivered them unto their parents.

10 This done, Jonathan settled himself in Jerusalem, and began to build and repair the city.

11 And he commanded the workmen to build the walls and Mount Zion round about with square stones for fortification; and they did so.
