1 Maccabees 11:44DRA

42And Demetrius sent to Jonathan, saying: I will not only do this for thee, and for thy people, but I will greatly honour thee, and thy nation, when opportunity shall serve.

43Now therefore thou shalt do well if thou send me men to help me: for all my army is gone from me.

44And Jonathan sent him three thousand valiant men to Antioch: and they came to the king, and the king was very glad of their coming.

45And they that were of the city assembled themselves together, to the number of a hundred and twenty thousand men, and would have killed the king.

46And the king fled into the palace, and they of the city kept the passages of the city, and began to fight.
