Lysias Makes Peace with the Jews
13As he was not without intelligence, he pondered over the defeat that had befallen him and realized that the Hebrews were invincible because the mighty God fought on their side. So he sent to them* 14and persuaded them to settle everything on just terms, promising that he would persuade the king, constraining him to be their friend.b* 15Maccabeus, having regard for the common good, agreed to all that Lysias urged. For the king granted every request in behalf of the Jews that Maccabeus delivered to Lysias in writing.*
