n purple, they fled all away.

1 Mac 10:65
So the king honoured him, and wrote him among his chief
friends, and made him a duke, and partaker of his dominion.

1 Mac 10:66
Afterward Jonathan returned to Jerusalem with peace and
gladness.

1 Mac 10:67
Furthermore in the hundred threescore and fifth year came
Demetrius son of Demetrius out of Crete into the land of his
fathers:

1 Mac 10:68
Whereof when king Alexander heard tell, he was right sorry,
and returned into Antioch.

1 Mac 10:69
Then Demetrius made Apollonius the governor of Celosyria his
general, who gathered together a great host, and camped in
Jamnia, and sent unto Jonathan the high priest, saying,

1 Mac 10:70
Thou alone liftest up thyself against us, and I am laughed to
scorn for thy sake, and reproached: and why dost thou vaunt thy
power against us in the mountains?

1 Mac 10:71
Now therefore, if thou trustest in thine own strength, come

there.

1 Mac 10:76
Then Jonathan laid siege unto it: whereupon they of the city
let him in for fear: and so Jonathan won Joppa.

1 Mac 10:77
Whereof when Apollonius heard, he took three thousand
horsemen, with a great host of footmen, and went to Azotus as
one that journeyed, and therewithal drew him forth into the
plain, because he had a great number of horsemen, in whom he put

1 Mac 10:78
Then Jonathan followed after him to Azotus, where the armies
