ROMAN HASMONEAN ALLIANCE

“Good success be to the Romans, and to the people of the Jews, by sea and by land for ever: the sword also and enemy be far from them.

If there come first any war upon the Romans or any of their confederates throughout all their dominion,
the people of the Jews shall help them, as the time shall be appointed, with all their heart:

neither shall they give any thing unto them that make war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, or ships, as it hath seemed good unto the Romans; but they shall keep their covenants without taking any thing therefore.

Likewise also, if war come first upon the nation of the Jews, the Romans shall help them earnestly, as the time shall be appointed:

neither shall they give any thing unto them that make war upon them, or aid them with victuals, weapons, money, or ships, as it hath seemed good unto the Jews; but they shall keep their covenants without taking any thing therefore.

And according to these articles have the Romans made a covenant with the people of the Jews.

If hereafter the one party or the other shall think meet to add or diminish any thing, they may do it at their pleasures, and whatsoever they shall add or take away shall be ratified.”

First Maccabees 8:23-30
