52 Demetrius was now in complete control of his kingdom again, and there was no more trouble.
53 Before long, he forgot how much Jonathan had helped him, and he broke his promises to Jonathan by treating him like an enemy and causing him a lot of trouble.
54 When Trypho came back from his visit to Imalkue the Arab, he brought young Antiochus the Sixth with him, and the boy began to rule as king.
55 The soldiers that King Demetrius the Second had sent home now sided with Antiochus and Trypho. They attacked Demetrius, forcing him to run for his life.
56 Trypho captured Demetrius' elephants as well as the city of Antioch.
57 Young King Antiochus wrote a letter to Jonathan, in which he said:I will let you continue as high priest. I have also made you one of my trusted friends and the ruler of the four regions.
58 I am sending you some gold plates and dishes, and I am giving you permission to drink from a gold cup and to wear royal robes and a gold buckle.
