2 Maccabees 11:17-19

Wycliffe Bible

¹⁷ John and Absalom, that were sent from you, betook writs, and asked, that I should [ful]fill those things that were signified by them.

¹⁸ Therefore whatever things might be brought forth to the king, I expounded, and which the thing suffered, that is, was covenable (or suitable) and just, he granted.

¹⁹ Therefore if in needs ye [shall] keep faith, also from henceforth I shall enforce (or I shall endeavour), or attempt, for to be (the) cause of good things to (or for) you.
