1 Maccabees 11:20 In-Context

18 King Ptolemy also died the third day after, and those who were in the strongholds were slain by one another.

19 By this means Demetrius reigned in the hundred threescore and seventh year.

20 At the same time Jonathan gathered together those who were in Judea to take the tower that was in Jerusalem; and he made many engines of war against it.

21 Then certain ungodly persons, who hated their own people, went unto the king and told him that Jonathan besieged the tower.

22 When he heard of this he was angry; and, immediately removing, he came to Ptolemais and wrote unto Jonathan that he should not lay siege against the tower, but come and speak with him at Ptolemais with great haste.
