1 Maccabees 11:41-43
Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition
41 And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, desiring that he would cast out them that were in the castle in Jerusalem, and those that were in the strong holds: because they fought against Israel.
42 And Demetrius sent to Jonathan, saying: I will not only do this for thee, and for thy people, but I will greatly honour thee, and thy nation, when opportunity shall serve.
43 Now therefore thou shalt do well if thou send me men to help me: for all my army is gone from me.
