menu_book Verse in Context

27 There was great suffering in Israel, such as was not since the time prophets stopped appearing to them.

28 All the friends of Judas were gathered together, and they said to Jonathan,

29 “Since your brother Judas has died, we have no man like him to go out against our enemies and Bacchides, and among those of our nation who hate us.

30 Now therefore we have chosen you this day to be our prince and leader in his place, that you may fight our battles.”

31 So Jonathan took the governance upon him at that time, and rose up in the place of his brother Judas.
