1 Maccabees 11:21DRA

19And Demetrius reigned in the hundred and sixty-seventh year.

20In those days Jonathan gathered together them that were in Judea, to take the castle that was in Jerusalem: and they made many engines of war against it.

21Then some wicked men that hated their own nation, went away to king Demetrius, and told him that Jonathan was besieging the castle.

22And when he heard it, he was angry: and forthwith he came to Ptolemais, and wrote to Jonathan, that he should not besiege the castle, but should come to him in haste, and speak to him.

23But when Jonathan heard this, he bade them besiege it still: and he chose some of the ancients of Israel, and of the priests, and put himself in danger.
