1 Maccabees 12:41-43

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

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

⁴² Now when Tryphon saw that Jonathan came with a great army, he durst not stretch forth his hand against him,

⁴³ But received him with honour, and commended him to all his friends, and gave him presents: and he commanded his troops to obey him, as himself.
