1 Maccabees 11:62-64

Wycliffe Bible

⁶² And (the) men of Gaza prayed Jonathan, and he gave to them (the) right hand, either peace. And he took the sons of them in(to) hostage (or for hostages), or (as) pledges, and he sent them into Jerusalem, and walked through the country till to Damascus.

⁶³ And Jonathan heard, that the princes of Demetrius trespassed in Kedesh, that is in Galilee, with much host, willing (or desiring) to remove him from (the) need of the realm;

⁶⁴ and he came against them (or he came to meet them). Forsooth he left Simon, his brother, within the province.
