1 Maccabees 11:42-44

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴² And 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.

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

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