1 Maccabees 14:39 Context

³⁷But he placed Iewes therein, and fortified it for the safetie of the countrey, and the city, and raised vp the wals of Ierusalem. ³⁸King Demetrius also confirmed him in the high priesthood, according to those things, ³⁹And made him one of his friends, and honoured him with great honour. ⁴⁰For he had heard say, that the Romanes had called the Iewes their friends, and confederates, and brethren, and that they had entertained the Embassadours of Simon honourably. ⁴¹Also that the Iewes & priests were wel pleased that Simon should be their gouernour, and high priest for euer vntil there should arise a faithfull prophet.
