In context
47With that they joined battle, and Jonathan stretched forth his hand to smite Bacchides, but he turned back from him.
48Then Jonathan and they that were with him leapt into Jordan, and swam over unto the farther bank: howbeit the other passed not over Jordan unto them.
— 1 Maccabees 9:49 —
50Afterward returned Bacchides to Jerusalem, and repaired the strong cities in Judea; the fort in Jericho, and Emmaus, and Beth-horon, and Bethel, and Timnath, Pharathon, and Tephon, these did he strengthen with high walls, with gates, and with bars.
51And in them he set a garrison, that they might work malice upon Israel.
