When Jonathan understood these his intentions, he sent ambassadors
to him about a league of friendship and mutual assistance, and that they
might restore those they had taken captive on both sides. So Bacchides
thought this a pretty decent way of retiring home, and made a league of
friendship with Jonathan, when they sware that they would not any more
make war one against another. Accordingly, he restored the captives, and
took his own men with him, and returned to the king at Antioch; and after
this his departure, he never came into Judea again. Then did Jonathan take
the opportunity of this quiet state of things, and went and lived in the
city Michmash; and there governed the multitude, and punished the wicked
and ungodly, and by that means purged the nation of them.
