1 Maccabees 10:4-6

Good News Translation

⁴ in the hope of winning Jonathan over to his side and making peace with the Jews before Alexander made a treaty with them against him. ⁵ Demetrius thought that Jonathan would certainly remember all the wrongs he had done to him, his brothers, and the entire Jewish nation. ⁶ And so Demetrius made Jonathan his ally and gave him authority to raise an army and equip it. He also ordered that the hostages held in the fort at Jerusalem should be handed over to Jonathan.
