⁶⁹ So he was very angry at the renegades who had counseled him to come into the country, and he killed many of them. Then he decided to go back to his own land.^(A)

⁷⁰ When Jonathan learned of this, he sent ambassadors to him to make peace with him and obtain release of the captives.^{(B) 71} He agreed and did as he said, and he swore to Jonathan^[a] that he would not try to harm him as long as he lived.
