1 Maccabees 8:19-21

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁹ And they went to Rome, a very long journey, and they entered into the senate house, and said:

²⁰ Judas Machabeus, and his brethren, and the people of the Jews have sent us to you, to make alliance and peace with you, and that we may be registered your confederates and friends.

²¹ And the proposal was pleasing in their sight.
