El pueblo, al ver las obras de Simón y el honor que buscaba traer a su nación, lo hizo su gobernador y sumo sacerdote, a causa de todo lo que había hecho, y por la justicia y la lealtad que mantuvo hacia su nación, y porque buscó de todas las maneras elevar a su pueblo.
The people therefore, seeing the acts of Simon, and unto what glory he thought to bring his nation, made him their governor and chief priest, because he had done all these things, and for the justice and faith which he kept to his nation, and for that he sought by all means to exalt his people.
