1 Maccabees 11:49-51

New Catholic Bible

⁴⁹ When the people of the city realized that the Jews had the city at their mercy, their courage failed them, and they cried out to the king, making this entreaty: ⁵⁰ “Grant us terms of peace, and order the Jews to stop fighting against us and our city.” They threw down their arms and made peace. ⁵¹ The Jews thus gained glory in the eyes of the king and of all his subjects in the kingdom, and they returned to Jerusalem with a great amount of spoil.
