1 Maccabees 9: 32-73
32 When Bacchides learned of it, he sought to kill him.
33 But Jonathan and his brother Simon and all who were with him discovered this, and they fled to the wilderness of Tekoa and camped by the waters of the pool of Asphar.
[34]* …Omitted, it is a dittography of v. 43.
verse 33: Tekoa: home of the prophet Amos
in the wild country above the Dead Sea,
southeast of Jerusalem.
35 Jonathan sent his brother as leader of the convoy to implore his friends, the Nabateans, to let them deposit with them their great quantity of baggage.
verse 35: Jonathan sent his brother:
this was John who was called Gaddi
36 But the tribe of Jambri from Medaba made a raid and seized and carried off John and everything he had.
verse 36: Medaba: northeast of the Dead Sea.
37 After this, word was brought to Jonathan and his brother Simon: “The tribe of Jambri are celebrating a great wedding, and with a large escort they are bringing the bride, the daughter of one of the great princes of Canaan, from Nadabath.”
38 Remembering the blood of John their brother, they went up and hid themselves under cover of the mountain.
39 As they watched there appeared a noisy throng with much baggage; then the bridegroom and his friends and kinsmen had come out to meet them with tambourines and musicians with their instruments.
40 Jonathan and his party rose up against them from their ambush and killed them. Many fell wounded; the rest fled toward the mountain; all their spoils were taken.
41 Thus the wedding was turned into mourning, and the sound of their music into lamentation.
42 Having taken their revenge for the blood of their brother, they returned to the marshes of the Jordan.
43 When Bacchides heard of it, he came on the sabbath to the banks of the Jordan with a large force.
44 Then Jonathan said to his companions, “Let us rise up now and fight for our lives, for today is not like yesterday and the day before.
45 The battle is before us, behind us are the waters of the Jordan, on either side of us, marsh and thickets; there is no way of escape.
verse 45: Jonathan’s force may have been trapped
in one of the many oxbows of the lower Jordan.
Bacchides had crossed and caught them still on the east bank.
46 Cry out now to Heaven so that you may be delivered from the hand of our enemies.”
47 When they joined battle, Jonathan raised his hand to strike Bacchides, but Bacchides backed away from him.
48 Jonathan and those with him jumped into the Jordan and swam across to the other side, but the enemy did not pursue them across the Jordan.
49 About a thousand men on Bacchides’ side fell that day.
50 On returning to Jerusalem, Bacchides built strongholds in Judea: the Jericho fortress, as well as Emmaus, Beth-horon, Bethel, Timnath, Pharathon, and Tephon, with high walls and gates and bars.
verse 50: These sites constitute a ring
on the edges of the province of Judea.
51 In each he put a garrison to harass Israel.
52 He fortified the city of Beth-zur, Gazara and the citadel, and put troops in them and stores of provisions.
53 He took as hostages the sons of the leading people of the country and put them in custody in the citadel at Jerusalem.
54 In the one hundred and fifty-third year, in the second month, Alcimus ordered the wall of the inner court of the sanctuary to be torn down, thus destroying the work of the prophets. But he only began to tear it down.
55 Just at that time Alcimus was stricken, and his work was interrupted; his mouth was closed and he was paralyzed, so that he could no longer utter a word or give orders concerning his household.
verse 54: In the one hundred and fifty-third year,
in the second month: May, 159 B.C.
The work of the prophets: probably Haggai and Zechariah,
who were instrumental in building the Second Temple
after the Babylonian exile.
Hg 1:12–14; Zec 4:8–10; Ezr 5:1–2.
Haggai 1:12-14
(1599 Geneva Bible)
When Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Joshua the son of Jehozadak
the high Priest, with all the remnant of the people, heard the voice of the Lord their God, and the words of the Prophet Haggai (as the Lord their God had sent him) then the people did fear before the Lord.
13 Then spake Haggai the Lord’s messenger in the Lord’s message unto the people, saying, I am with you, saith the Lord.
14 And the Lord stirred up the spirit of Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel,
a prince of Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son of Jehozadak the high Priest, and the spirit of all the remnant of the people, and they came,
and did the work in the House of the Lord of hosts their God.
Zechariah 4:8-10
(1599 Geneva Bible)
Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
9 The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the foundation of this house:
his hands shall also finish it, and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me unto you.
10 For who hath despised the day of the small things? but they shall rejoice, and shall see the stone of tin in the hand of Zerubbabel: these seven are the eyes of the Lord, which go through the whole world.
Ezra 5:1-2
(1599 Geneva Bible)
Then Haggai a Prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo a Prophet
prophesied unto the Jews that were in Judah, and Jerusalem,
in the Name of the God of Israel, even unto them.
2 Then Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak arose,
and began to build the house of God at Jerusalem, and with them were the Prophets of God, which helped them.
56 Alcimus died in great agony at that time.
57 Seeing that Alcimus was dead, Bacchides returned to the king, and the land of Judah was at rest for two years.
58 Then all the lawless took counsel and said: “Jonathan and those with him are living in peace and security. Now then, let us have Bacchides return, and he will capture all of them in a single night.”
59 So they went and took counsel with him.
60When Bacchides was setting out with a large force, he sent letters secretly to all his allies in Judea, telling them to seize Jonathan and his companions. They were not able to do this, however, because their plan became known.
61 In fact, Jonathan’s men seized about fifty of the men of the country who were leaders in the conspiracy and put them to death.
62 Then Jonathan and those with him, along with Simon, withdrew to Bethbasi in the wilderness; he rebuilt its ruins and fortified it.
verse 62: Bethbasi: two miles east of Bethlehem
and six miles north of Tekoa.
63 When Bacchides learned of this, he gathered together his whole force and sent word to those who were in Judea.
64 He came and camped before Bethbasi, and constructing siege engines, he fought against it for many days.
65 Leaving his brother Simon in the city, Jonathan, accompanied by a small group of men, went out into the countryside.
66 He struck down Odomera and his kindred and the tribe of Phasiron in their encampment; these men had begun to attack and they were going up with their forces.
67 Simon and those with him then sallied forth from the city and set fire to the siege engines.
68 They fought against Bacchides, and he was crushed. They caused him great distress, because the enterprise he had planned was in vain.
69 He was enraged with the lawless men who had advised him to invade the province. He killed many of them and resolved to return to his own country.
70 Jonathan learned of this and sent ambassadors to agree on peace with him and to obtain the release of the prisoners.
71 He agreed to do as Jonathan asked. He swore an oath to him that he would never try to do him any harm for the rest of his life;
72 and he released to him the prisoners he had previously taken from the land of Judah. Thereupon he returned to his own land and never came into their territory again.
73 Then the sword ceased from Israel. Jonathan settled in Michmash; he began to judge the people and he eliminated the renegades from Israel.
verse 73: Michmash, southeast of Bethel,
famous for the exploits of Jonathan, son of Saul;
see 1 Sm 14.
It was Jonathan’s base from 157 to 152 B.C.
Began to judge: exercise the governing authority
as in the Book of Judges. With Jerusalem
and the garrison towns firmly in Seleucid hands,
Jonathan’s freedom of action was greatly restricted.
