1 Maccabees 12:40-42

New Catholic Bible

⁴⁰ However, he was afraid that Jonathan would not allow him to do this and might even resort to war to prevent him from doing so. Therefore, he set out and marched to Beth-shan, in the hope of seizing him and putting him to death. ⁴¹ Jonathan marched out to confront him with forty thousand picked warriors and arrived at Beth-shan.

⁴² When Trypho saw that Jonathan was confronting him with a large army, he was hesitant about launching an attack against him.
