A similar rivalry was enacted between their sons, Antiochus VI and Demetrius II. All four were eager suppliants for the- friendship and aid of Jonathan. The rounds of the ladder upon which the wily Israelite rose to eminence, were the favors with which these aspirants for the Syrian throne purchased the friendship of the Jews. From Alexander Balas, who succeeded with his help, in dislodging Demetrius I, he obtained the title "king's friend, " with the insignia which admitted him to the royal ci...rcle, the purple and the diadem. From the same hand, he received the office of high priest, which had by this time degenerated into an alair so purely political that the people were troubled INDEPENDENCE OF JUDEA 93 by no sense of incongruity when, at the Feast of Tabernacles, the consecrated garments were hastily assumed by Jonathan, who, almost in the same breath, "gathered together forces and pro- vided much arms. " By the winter of B. C. 142-143, Jonathan had played his game so well that he was the recognized ruler of Judea; three provinces of Samaria had been added to his territory; all the Syrian garri- sons except two, one at Gazara and the other oc- cupying the citadel at Jerusalem, had been re- moved and the warrior high priest and his brother Simon were loaded with honors by the Syrian king, Demetrius II.
