58 He also sent him a dinner service of gold plate and gave him the right to drink from gold vessels, to dress in royal purple, and to wear a gold buckle. 59 He also appointed Jonathan’s brother Simon as governor of the region from the Ladder of Tyre[a] to the frontiers of Egypt.
60 Jonathan then set out and traveled through West-of-Euphrates[b] and its cities, and the whole Syrian army rallied to his support. When he reached Ashkelon, the people of the city received him with great honor.
