1 Maccabees 11:64 In-Context

62 Afterwards, when they of Gaza made supplication unto Jonathan, he made peace with them, and took the sons of the chief men for hostages and sent them to Jerusalem, and passed through the country unto Damascus.

63 Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' princes had come to Kadesh, which is in Galilee, with a great power, purposing to remove him out of the country,

64 he went to meet them and left Simon his brother in the country.

65 Then Simon encamped against Beth-zur and fought against it a long season, and shut it in.

66 But they desired to have peace with him, which he granted them, and then put them out from thence, and took the city and set a garrison in it.
