1 Maccabees 12:15-17

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁵ For we had help of (or from) heaven, and be delivered, and our enemies be made low.

¹⁶ Therefore we have chosen Numenius, the son of Antiochus, and Antipater, son of Jason, and sent (them) to (the) Romans, for to renew with them both friendship and former fellowship.

¹⁷ Therefore we commanded to them, that they come also to you, and greet you, and yield to you our epistles of (the) renewing of our brotherhood.
