menu_book Verse in Context

27 He would not receive them, but nullified all the covenants which he had made with him before, and was estranged from him.

28 He sent to him Athenobius, one of his friends, to confer with him, saying, “You hold possession of Joppa, Gazara, and the citadel that is in Jerusalem, cities of my kingdom.

29 You have devastated their territory, and done great harm in the land, and control many places in my kingdom.

30 Now therefore hand over the cities which you have taken, and the tributes of the places which you have taken control of outside of the borders of Judea;

31 or else give me for them five hundred talents of silver; and for the harm that you have done, and the tributes of the cities, another five hundred talents. Otherwise we will come and subdue you.”
