1 Maccabees 12:24-26
New Catholic Bible
24 Jonathan Thwarts the Syrian Offensive. When Jonathan heard that the generals of Demetrius had returned to wage war against him with an even larger army than previously, 25 he set forth from Jerusalem and met them in the region of Hamath,[a] thereby giving them no opportunity to invade his own territory. 26 He sent spies into their camp who returned and informed him that the enemy was preparing to attack the Jews that night.
