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 For all my army has withdrawn from me."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.
47 And the king called the Jews to his assistance. And they came together before him at the same time, and then they all dispersed themselves throughout the city.
48 And they killed, in that day, one hundred thousand men, and they set fire to the city, and they seized many spoils in that day, and they freed the king.
