12 All the people sat under their own vines and fig trees. No one made them afraid.

13 No one was left in the land to fight them, because foreign kings had been crushed in those days.

14 He gave help to all the humble ones among his people. He sought lawful ways. He did away with evil people and those who sinned against the Law.

15 He made the sanctuary glorious, and added to its holy equipment.

16 The people in Rome, and those who were as far away as Sparta, learned that Jonathan had died, and they were all very sad.
