2 Maccabees 11:18-20

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁸ Therefore whatsoever things could be reported to the king I have represented to him: and he hath granted as much as the matter permitted.

¹⁹ If therefore you will keep yourselves loyal in affairs, hereafter also I will endeavour to be a means of your good.

²⁰ But as concerning other particulars, I have given orders by word both to these, and to them that are sent by me, to commune with you.
