23 We moreover write on our part to you, that your livestock and goods are ours, and ours are yours. We do command therefore that they make report to you accordingly.”

24 Now Jonathan heard that Demetrius’ princes had returned to fight against him with a greater army than before,

25 so he marched away from Jerusalem, and met them in the country of Hamath; for he gave them no opportunity to set foot in his country.

26 He sent spies into his camp, and they came again, and reported to him that they were preparing to attack them at night.

27 But as soon as the sun was down, Jonathan commanded his men to watch, and to be armed, that all the night long they might be ready for battle. He stationed sentinels around the camp.
