New Catholic Bible

⁵⁷ Then the young Antiochus wrote to Jonathan as follows: “I confirm you in the high priesthood, place you in authority over the four districts, and appoint you as one of the King’s Friends.” ⁵⁸ He also sent him a dinner service of gold plate and gave him the right to drink from gold vessels, to dress in royal purple, and to wear a gold buckle. ⁵⁹ He also appointed Jonathan’s brother Simon as governor of the region from the Ladder of Tyre^[a] to the frontiers of Egypt.
