41 Meanwhile, Jonathan sent the following message to Demetrius:Please take your soldiers out of the fortresses around here, especially the one in Jerusalem. They keep attacking us.
42 Demetrius wrote back:Jonathan, of course I will do what you and your people have asked. And I will show great honors to you and your people as soon as I can.
43 For now, please do me a favor and send some troops to help me, because my own soldiers have rebelled.
44 Jonathan sent a heavily armed force of 3,000 soldiers to the city of Antioch, and Demetrius was very glad to see them.
45 Not long after this, a mob of about 120,000 people tried to kill Demetrius.
46 They took over the streets and started rioting. So Demetrius ran away to his palace
47 and ordered the Jewish soldiers to protect him.They came and made sure Demetrius was safe. Then they went through the entire city, killing almost 100,000 people.
