1 Maccabees 12:14-16

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁴ Therefore we would not be grievous to you, neither to other fellows, and our friends, in these battles.

¹⁵ For we had help of (or from) heaven, and be delivered, and our enemies be made low.

¹⁶ Therefore we have chosen Numenius, the son of Antiochus, and Antipater, son of Jason, and sent (them) to (the) Romans, for to renew with them both friendship and former fellowship.
