1 Maccabees 12:39-41

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

³⁹ Now when Tryphon had conceived a design to make himself king of Asia, and to take the crown, and to stretch out his hand against king Antiochus:

⁴⁰ Fearing lest Jonathan would not suffer him, but would fight against him: he sought to seize upon him, and to kill him. So he rose up and came to Bethsan.

⁴¹ And Jonathan went out to meet him with forty thousand men chosen for battle, and came to Bethsan.
