King James VersionSource notes
“And will grant you many immunities, and give you rewards.”
Context
25He sent unto them therefore to this effect: King Demetrius unto the people of the Jews sendeth greeting:
26Whereas ye have kept covenants with us, and continued in our friendship, not joining yourselves with our enemies, we have heard hereof, and are glad.
27Wherefore now continue ye still to be faithful unto us, and we will well recompense you for the things ye do in our behalf,
28And will grant you many immunities, and give you rewards.
29And now do I free you, and for your sake I release all the Jews, from tributes, and from the customs of salt, and from crown taxes,
30And from that which appertaineth unto me to receive for the third part or the seed, and the half of the fruit of the trees, I release it from this day forth, so that they shall not be taken of the land of Judea, nor of the three governments which are added thereunto out of the country of Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for evermore.
31Let Jerusalem also be holy and free, with the borders thereof, both from tenths and tributes.
