1 Maccabees 9:28–31

And all the friends of Judas were gathered together, and they said unto Jonathan: ‘Since thy brother Judas hath died, we have no man like him to go forth against our enemies and Bacchides, and against them of our nation that are inimical ⁽to us⁽. Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our ruler and leader in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles.’ And Jonathan tookthe leadership upon him at that time, and rose up in the stead of his brother Judas.
