23 'What have we done in this, that Alexander has gone before us to obtain the friendship of the Jews to strengthen himself?
24 I also will write to them words of petition, and offer positions of rank and gifts, so that they may act in assistance to me.'
25 And he wrote to them in these words: 'King Demetrius to the nation of the Jews: greetings.
26 Since you have kept the peace with us, and have remained in our friendship, and have not made agreements with our enemies, we have heard of this, and we are glad.
27 And so now, persevere still to remain faithful to us, and we will reward you with good things for what you have done for us.
