35. And no one will have the authority to do anything, or to incite any plots, against any of them, in all cases.
36. And let there be enrolled from the Jews, into the army of the king, up to thirty thousand men. And allowances shall be given to them, just as is due to all the king's army. And some of them shall be appointed to be in the fortresses of the great king.
37. And some of them shall be set over the affairs of the kingdom, those who act with faith, and let the leaders be from them, and let them walk by their own laws, just as the king has commanded in the land of Judah.
38. And the three cities that have been added to Judea from the region of Samaria, let them be counted with Judea, so that they may be united as one, and so that they may obey no other authority, except the high priest.

40. And I give, every year, fifteen thousand shekels of silver from the allotment of the king, from what belongs to me.
41. And all that has been left over, which those who were set over the affairs in prior years have not paid: from this time, they will give it to the works of the house.
42. And beyond this, they shall receive five thousand shekels of silver from the allotment of the holy places each year, and this will belong to the priests who perform the ministry.
43. And whoever will flee into the temple that is in Jerusalem, or in any of its parts, being liable before the king in any matter, let them be released, and all that is theirs in my kingdom, let them have it freely.
44. And as to the works of rebuilding and repairing the holy places, the expenses shall be given from the king's revenues.
45. And as to the raising of the walls of Jerusalem and the fortifications all around it, the expenses shall be given from the king's revenues, as also for the building of the walls in Judea."
