1 Maccabees 10:74-76

New Catholic Bible

⁷⁴ When Jonathan heard this message from Apollonius, his spirit was aroused. He set out from Jerusalem with ten thousand picked men, and his brother Simon joined him with reinforcements. ⁷⁵ He encamped outside Joppa, where the people of the city had closed its gates against him because Apollonius had a garrison there. ⁷⁶ However, when they began the siege, the people of the city became terrified, and they opened the gates, whereupon Jonathan took possession of Joppa.
