We decay daily, and our victuals are but small, and the place we lay siege unto is strong, and the affairs of the kingdom lie upon us:
Now therefore let us be friends with these men, and make peace with them, and with all their nation; And covenant with them, that they shall live after their laws, as they did before:
for they are therefore displeased, and have done all these things, because we abolished their laws.
So the king and the princes were content: wherefore he sent unto them to make peace; and they accepted thereof.
