1 Maccabees 11:48-52 World English Bible (WEB)

48. And they set the city on fire, and got many spoils that day, and saved the king.

49. And they of the city saw that the Jews had made themselves masters of the city as they would, and they waxed faint in their hearts, and they cried out to the king with supplication, saying,

50. Give us your right hand, and let the Jews cease from fighting against us and the city.

51. And they cast away their arms, and made peace; and the Jews were glorified in the sight of the king, and before all that were in his kingdom; and they returned to Jerusalem, having many spoils.

52. And king Demetrius sat on the throne of his kingdom, and the land was quiet before him.
