2 Maccabees 11:19 In-Context

17 John and Absalom, who were sent by you, have delivered your signed communication and have asked about the matters indicated in it.

18 I have informed the king of everything that needed to be brought before him, and he has agreed to what was possible.

19 If you will maintain your goodwill toward the government, I will endeavor in the future to help promote your welfare.

20 And concerning such matters and their details, I have ordered these men and my representatives to confer with you.

21 Farewell. The one hundred forty-eighth year, Dioscorinthius twenty-fourth."
