1 Maccabees 11:49-51

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴⁹ And they that were of the city saw that the Jews had got the city as they would: and they were discouraged in their minds, and cried to the king, making supplication, and saying:

⁵⁰ Grant us peace, and let the Jews cease from assaulting us, and the city.

⁵¹ And they threw down their arms, and made peace, and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and in the sight of all that were in his realm, and were renowned throughout the kingdom, and returned to Jerusalem with many spoils.
