21 The ambassadors who were sent to our people reported to us about your glory and honor. We were glad for their coming,

22 and we registered the things that were spoken by them in the public records as follows: ‘Numenius son of Antiochus, and Antipater son of Jason, the Jews’ ambassadors, came to us to renew the friendship they had with us.
