1 Maccabees 10:4-6

New Catholic Bible

⁴ for he thought to himself, “Let us move first to make peace with him before he makes peace with Alexander against us, ⁵ recalling all the wrongs that we inflicted upon him and his brothers and his nation.”

⁶ So Demetrius gave Jonathan the authority to raise an army and to procure arms and to designate himself as an ally; and he also ordered the hostages in the citadel to be released to him.
