August 11, 2013 – 1 Maccabees 12

I can’t tell if Jonathon was killed or just captured.  Seems a rather naïve move to send away all your troops away when someone ask you to.  Seems a red flag should have went up when someone brings and army and then says the brought their whole army just to come a get you peacefully.  Jonathon was obviously fooled, but after some of the things he has seen through and made the right decision, it seems he would not have fallen for something so obvious.
