1 Maccabees 13:14-16

Revised Standard Version

¹⁴ Trypho learned that Simon had risen up in place of Jonathan his brother, and that he was about to join battle with him, so he sent envoys to him and said, ¹⁵ “It is for the money that Jonathan your brother owed the royal treasury, in connection with the offices he held, that we are detaining him. ¹⁶ Send now a hundred talents of silver and two of his sons as hostages, so that when released he will not revolt against us, and we will release him.”
