1 Maccabees 11:39-41

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

³⁹ A certain Trypho had formerly been one of Alexander’s supporters; he saw that all the troops were grumbling against Demetrius. So he went to Imalkue the Arab, who was bringing up Antiochus, the young son of Alexander, ⁴⁰ and insistently urged him to hand Antiochus^[a] over to him, to become king in place of his father. He also reported to Imalkue^[b] what Demetrius had done and told of the hatred that the troops of Demetrius^[c] had for him; and he stayed there many days.

⁴¹ Now Jonathan sent to King Demetrius the request that he remove the troops of the citadel from Jerusalem, and the troops in the strongholds; for they kept fighting against Israel.
