37The golden crown, and the scarlet robe, which ye sent unto us, we have received: and we are ready to make a stedfast 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 strong holds, which ye have builded, shall be your own.
— 1 Maccabees 13:39 —
