In context
15Then Machabeus consented to the request of Lysias, providing for the common Food in all things, and whatsoever Machabeus wrote to Lysias concerning the Jews, the king allowed of.
16For there were letters written to the Jews from Lysias, to this effect: Lysias to the people of the Jews, greeting.
17John and Abesalom who were sent from you, delivering your writings, requested that I would accomplish those things which were signified by them.
18Therefore whatsoever things could be reported to the king I have represented to him: and he hath granted as much as the matter permitted.
19If therefore you will keep yourselves loyal in affairs, hereafter also I will endeavour to be a means of your good.
