1 Maccabees 11:50

50 Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us and the city!

1 Maccabees 11:50 In-Context

48 Also they set fire to the city and got many spoils that day, and delivered the king.

49 So when they of the city saw that the Jews had gotten the city as they wanted, their courage was abated. Therefore they made supplication to the king and cried, saying,

50 Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us and the city!

51 With that they cast away their weapons and made peace; and the Jews were honored in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all who were in his realm. And they returned to Jerusalem, having great spoils.

52 So King Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.
