40 And he persuaded him to deliver him to him, so that he would reign in his father's place. And he reported to him what Demetrius had done, and that his army was hostile to him. And he remained there for many days.
41 And Jonathan sent to king Demetrius, so that he would cast out those who were in the stronghold in Jerusalem and those who were with the garrisons, because they fought against Israel.
42 And Demetrius sent to Jonathan, saying: "I will not only do this for you and your people, but I will elevate your glory and your nation, when opportunity shall serve.
43 Now, therefore, you will do well if you send men as auxiliaries to me. For all my army has withdrawn from me."
44 And Jonathan sent three thousand strong men to him at Antioch. And they came to the king, and the king was delighted at their arrival.
45 And those who were of the city gathered together, one hundred and twenty thousand men, and they wanted to execute the king.
46 And the king fled into the royal court. And those who were of the city, occupied the passageways of the city, and they began to fight.
