1 Maccabees 15:28-30

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁸ And he sent to him Athenobius one of his friends, to treat with him, saying: You hold Joppe, and Gazara, and the castle that is in Jerusalem, which are cities of my kingdom:

²⁹ Their borders you have wasted, and you have made great havock in the land, and have got the dominion of many places in my kingdom.

³⁰ Now therefore deliver up the cities that you have taken, and the tributes of the places whereof you have gotten the dominion without the borders of Judea.
