28Then Jonathan desired the king, that he would make Judea free from tribute, as also the three governments, with the country of Samaria; and he promised him three hundred talents. 29So the king consented, and wrote letters unto Jonathan of all these things after this manner: 30King Demetrius unto his brother Jonathan, and unto the nation of the Jews, sendeth greeting: 31We send you here a copy of the letter which we did write unto our cousin Lasthenes concerning you, that ye might see it. 32King Demetrius unto his father Lasthenes sendeth greeting: 33We are determined to do good to the people of the Jews, who are our friends, and keep covenants with us, because of their good will toward us. 34Wherefore we have ratified unto them the borders of Judea, with the three governments of Apherema and Lydda and Ramathem, that are added unto Judea from the country of Samaria, and all things appertaining unto them, for all such as do sacrifice in Jerusalem, instead of the payments which the king received of them yearly aforetime out of the fruits of the earth and of trees.
