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.”
59 He also appointed Jonathan's brother Simon as governor of the territory from the Phoenician coast to the Egyptian border.
60 Jonathan then marched with his army through the towns of Greater Syria, and all the Syrian forces joined him as allies. He went to Ashkelon, where the people welcomed him with great honours.
