1 Maccabees 2:18

New Catholic Bible

¹⁸ Now be the first to come forward and obey the decree of the king, as all the Gentiles have done, as well as the citizens of Judah and the people who remain in Jerusalem. Then you and your sons will be counted among the Friends of the King,^[a] and you and your sons will be honored with gold and silver and many other gifts.”
