2 Maccabees 13:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² Again the king treated with them that were in Bethsura: gave his right hand: took theirs: and went away.

²³ He fought with Judas: and was overcome. And when he understood that Philip, who had been left over the affairs, had rebelled at Antioch, he was in a consternation of mind, and entreating the Jews, and yielding to them, he swore to all things that seemed reasonable, and, being reconciled, offered sacrifices, honoured the temple, and left gifts.

²⁴ He embraced Machabeus, and made him governor and prince from Ptolemais unto the Gerrenians.
