yere came Alexander the sonne of noble Antiochus and toke Ptolomais whose citizines receaued him and there he raygned 2 When Demetrius heard therof he gathered an exceeding great hoast and went foorth against him to fight 3 Wherfore Demetrius sent letters vnto Ionathas with louing wordes and praysed him greatly 4 For he sayde We will first make peace with him before he bynde him selfe with Alexander against vs 5 Els he shall remember the euyl that we haue done against him his brother and his people 6 And so he gaue Ionathas leaue to gatheran hoast to make weapons to be confederat with him and commaunded the pledges that were in the castle to be deliuered vnto him 7 Then came Ionathas to Hierusalem and read the letters in the audience of al the people and of them that were in the castle 8 And therefore were they sore afrayde because they hearde that the king had geuen him licence to gather an hoast 9 Thus were the pledges deliuered vnto Ionathas which restored them to their parentes 10 Ionathas also dwelt at Hierusalem and began to buylde vp and to repayre the citie 11 Commaunding the workmen to wall it and the mount Sion rounde about with free stone to be a strong hold and so they did 12 As for the heathen that were in the castles whiche Bacchides had made vp they fled 13 So that euery man left the place and went into his owne countrey 14 Only at Bethsura remayned certayne of the Iewes whiche had forsaken the lawe and commaundementes of God for Bethsura was their refuge 15 Nowe when king Alexander heard of the promises that Demetrius had made vnto Ionathas and when it was tolde him of the battayles and noble actes which he and his brethren had done and of the great trauayles that they had taken 16 He sayde Where shall we finde such a man well we wil make him our friend and be confederat with hym 17 Vpon this he wrote a letter vnto him with these wordes 18 King Alexander saluteth his brother Ionathas 19 We haue hearde of thee that thou art a valiaunt man and meete to be our friende 20 Wherfore this day we ordayne thee to be the hye priest of thy people and to be called the kinges friende Vpon this he sent hym a purple clothing a crowne of gold that thou mayest consider what is for our profite and kepe friendship towarde vs. 21 So in the seuenth moneth of the hundred and threescore yere vpon the solempne feast day of the tabernacles Ionathas put the holy rayment vpon him then gathered he an hoast and prepared many weapons 22 Whiche when Demetrius hearde he was marueylous sory 23 And sayde Alas what haue we done that Alexander hath preuented vs in getting the friendship of the Iewes for his owne defence 24 Yet will I wryte louingly vnto them also yea and promise them dignities and rewardes that they may be of my syde 25 Wherevpon he wrote vnto them these wordes King Demetrius sendeth greeting vnto the people of the Iewes 26 Whereas ye haue kept your couenaunt toward vs and continued in our friendship not inclining to our enemies we were glad when we hearde therof 27 Wherfore remayne still and be faythfull to vs and we shall well recompence you for the thinges that ye haue done on our partie 28 We shal releasse you

out of Samaria and Galilee from this day foorth for euermore 31 Hierusalem also with all thinges belonging therto shal be holy and free yea the tythes and tributes shall pertayne vnto it 32 As for the power of the castle whiche is at Hierusalem I remit and geue it vnto the hygh priest that he may set in it such men as he shall choose to kepe it 33 I freely deliuer all the Iewes that are prisoners
