1 Maccabees 15:24-26

New Catholic Bible

²⁴ A copy of the letter was also sent to Simon the high priest.

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.
