In context
27So was there a great affliction in Israel, the like whereof was not since the time that a prophet was not seen among them.
28For this cause all Judas’ friends came together, and said unto Jonathan,
— 1 Maccabees 9:29 —
30Now therefore we have chosen thee this day to be our prince and captain in his stead, that thou mayest fight our battles.
31Upon this Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up instead of his brother Judas.
