1 Maccabees 13:36

³⁴Moreover Simon chose men, and sent to King Demetrius, to the end he should give the land an immunity, because all that Trypho did was to spoil.

³⁵Unto whom King Demetrius answered and wrote after this manner:

— 1 Maccabees 13:36 —

³⁷The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which ye sent unto us, we have received: and we are ready to make a steadfast peace with you, yea, and to write unto our officers, to confirm the immunities which we have granted.

³⁸And whatsoever covenants we have made with you shall stand; and the strongholds, which ye have built, shall be your own.
