²⁵ Although certain renegades of his nation kept making complaints against him, ²⁶ the king treated him as his predecessors had treated him; he exalted him in the presence of all his Friends. ²⁷ He confirmed him in the high-priesthood and in as many other honours as he had formerly had, and caused him to be reckoned among his chief^[a] Friends.
