[133]
But Jonathan the high priest, being desirous to get clear of those
that were in the citadel of Jerusalem, and of the Jewish deserters, and
wicked men, as well as of those in all the garrisons in the country, sent
presents and ambassadors to Demetrius, and entreated him to take away his
soldiers out of the strong holds of Judea. Demetrius made answer, that
after the war, which he was now deeply engaged in, was over, he would not
only grant him that, but greater things than that also; and he desired
he would send him some assistance, and informed him that his army had deserted
him. So Jonathan chose out three thousand of his soldiers, and sent them
to Demetrius.
