52 Demetrius was firmly established as king, and the country was at peace under his rule,
53 but he broke all his promises and turned against Jonathan. He did not reward him for his loyal service, but instead continued to harass him.
54 Some time later, Trypho returned with the young boy Antiochus and crowned him king.
55 All the soldiers that Demetrius had dismissed then came to the support of the young king. They defeated Demetrius and he fled.
56 Trypho captured the elephants and took control of Antioch.
57 The young King Antiochus wrote to Jonathan and confirmed him as High Priest and as ruler over the four regions and gave him the title “Friend of the King.”
58 He sent him a gold dinner-service and authorized him to drink from gold cups, to wear a royal robe, and to wear the gold shoulder buckle awarded to “Relatives of the King.”
