:1 Maccabees 11:71 does not say that Jonathan is high priest. However, 1 Maccabees 9:73 and 10:18-20 '''''do''''' show first that Jonathan began to judge the people, and second (in 152 B.C.) that he is appointed by the Syrian King Alexander to be high priest ("''in the seventh month of the one hundred and sixtieth year''"), so that Jonathan is indeed high priest when he tears his clothes in 1 Maccabees 11:71—but citing this verse alone (11:71) as evidence without providing the textual context is not convincing.
:The Bible nowhere states (sola scriptura) that Eliakim son of Hilkiah is high priest, particularly when he tears or "rends" his garments in 2&nbsp;Kings 18:37, which has been cited as evidence that the high priest tore his garments as permitted by the law of Moses, and he is not mentioned in 2&nbsp;Kings 19:1 where it is King Hezekiah who tears his own garments. See [https://biblehub.com/topical/e/eliakim.htm Bible links to '''Eliakim''' - Topical Bible (biblehub.com)]<br>Instead, it is rather ''[[Josephus]]'' in [https://biblehub.com/library/josephus/the_antiquities_of_the_jews/chapter_4_how_amon_reigned.htm ''Antiquities'' 10.4.1 <nowiki>[55]</nowiki> and 10.4.2 <nowiki>[57]</nowiki><nowiki>[59]</nowiki>] who explicitly states that Eliakim is the high priest, in a passage that directly parallels 2&nbsp;Kings 18–19.<br>In the Bible, in 2 Kings (sola scriptura), Eliakim son of Hilkiah is not called high priest, but it does say he tore his garments. <br>The Bible and Josephus present parallels parallel narratives that stand as historical context in support of the argument that the high priest could legitimately rend his garments on hearing what he judged to be blasphemy. The evidence is "extra-biblical"; it cannot be proven sola scriptura, from the Bible alone.
