1 Maccabees 14:19 In-Context

17 But when the Spartans heard that Simon had succeeded his brother as High Priest and that he was in control of the country and its towns,
18 they engraved on bronze tablets a renewal of the treaty of friendship which they had made with his brothers Judas and Jonathan and sent the tablets to him.
19 These were read to the assembly in Jerusalem.
20 What follows is a copy of the letter sent by the Spartans: "The people of Sparta and their rulers to Simon the High Priest, to the leaders and the priests of the Jews, and to all our Jewish brothers, greetings.
21 The delegation that you sent to our people has told us how respected and renowned you are. Their visit has been a source of joy for us,
