1 Maccabees 12:44-46
Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition
44 Then he said to Jonathan, “Why have you wearied all these people when we are not at war? 45 Dismiss them now to their homes and choose for yourself a few men to stay with you, and come with me to Ptolema′is. I will hand it over to you as well as the other strongholds and the remaining troops and all the officials, and will turn round and go home. For that is why I am here.”
46 Jonathan[a] trusted him and did as he said; he sent away the troops, and they returned to the land of Judah.
