1 Maccabees 15: 25-41
25 When King Antiochus encamped before Dor, he assaulted it continuously both with troops and with the siege engines he had made. He blockaded Trypho by preventing anyone from going in or out.
26 Simon sent to Antiochus’ support two thousand elite troops, together with silver and gold and much equipment.
27 But he refused to accept the aid; in fact, he broke all the agreements he had previously made with Simon and became hostile toward him.
28 He sent Athenobius, one of his Friends, to confer with Simon and say: “You are occupying Joppa and Gazara and the citadel of Jerusalem; these are cities of my kingdom.
29 You have laid waste their territories, done great harm to the land, and taken possession of many districts in my kingdom.
30 Now, therefore, give up the cities you have seized and the tribute money of the districts you control outside the territory of Judea;
31 or instead, pay me five hundred talents of silver for the devastation you have caused and five hundred talents more for the tribute money of the cities. If you do not do this, we will come and make war on you.”
32 So Athenobius, the king’s Friend, came to Jerusalem and on seeing the splendor of Simon’s court, the gold and silver plate on the sideboard, and his rich display, he was amazed. When he gave him the king’s message,
33 Simon said to him in reply: “It is not foreign land we have taken nor have we seized the property of others, but only our ancestral heritage which for a time had been unjustly held by our enemies.
34 Now that we have the opportunity, we are holding on to the heritage of our ancestors.
35 As for Joppa and Gazara, which you demand, those cities were doing great harm to our people and our country. For these we will give you a hundred talents.” Athenobius made no reply,
36 but returned to the king in anger. When he told him of Simon’s words, of his splendor, and of all he had seen, the king fell into a violent rage.
37 Trypho had boarded a ship and escaped to Orthosia.
verse 37: Orthosia: a port between Tripoli and the Eleutherus River.
38 Then the king appointed Cendebeus commander-in-chief of the seacoast, and gave him infantry and cavalry forces.
39 He ordered him to encamp against Judea and to fortify Kedron and strengthen its gates, so that he could wage war on the people. Meanwhile the king went in pursuit of Trypho.
verse 39: Kedron: a few miles southeast of Jamnia
and facing the fortress of Gazara held by John Hyrcanus
40 When Cendebeus came to Jamnia, he began to harass the people and to make incursions into Judea, where he took people captive and massacred them.
41 As the king ordered, he fortified Kedron and stationed cavalry and infantry there, so that they could go out and patrol the roads of Judea.
hope you have a great day!
