1 Maccabees 9:57-59

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁵⁷ And Bacchides saw that Alcimus was dead: and he returned to the king, and the land was quiet for two years.

⁵⁸ And all the wicked held a council, saying: Behold Jonathan, and they that are with him, dwell at ease, and without fear: now therefore let us bring Bacchides hither, and he shall take them all in one night.

⁵⁹ So they went, and gave him counsel.
