1 Maccabees 15:29-31

Good News Translation

²⁹ You have devastated those regions and brought great trouble to the country. You have seized control of many places in my kingdom. ³⁰ Now you must hand back these cities that you have captured, and you must give me the tax money that you have taken from places that you occupied outside the territory of Judea. ³¹ If you are unwilling to do this, then you must pay me 30,000 pounds of silver, and 30,000 additional pounds of silver to compensate me for damages and for lost taxes. If you refuse to do either of these, we will go to war against you.
