1 Maccabees 15:25-27

New Catholic Bible

²⁵ Antiochus Gives Simon an Ultimatum. King Antiochus besieged Dor for a second time, continuously assaulting it with his troops and the siege-machines he had constructed. He blockaded Trypho, preventing any movement either into or out of the town. ²⁶ Simon sent to Antiochus two thousand picked men to support him together with silver and gold and a great amount of military equipment. ²⁷ However, Antiochus refused to accept his aid. Instead, he broke all the agreements he had previously drawn up with Simon and became estranged from him.
