New Revised Standard Version: Updated EditionOther versions

28Then all the friends of Judas assembled and said to Jonathan,* 29“Since the death of your brother Judas there has been no one like him to go against our enemies and Bacchides and to deal with those of our nation who hate us.* 30Now, therefore, we have chosen you today to take his place as our ruler and leader, to fight our battle.” 31So Jonathan accepted the leadership at that time in place of his brother Judas.*
