2 Maccabees 1:12-14

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹² For he made numbers of men swarm out of Persia that have fought against us, and the holy city.

¹³ For when the leader himself was in Persia, and with him a very great army, he fell in the temple of Nanea, being deceived by the counsel of the priests of Nanea.

¹⁴ For Antiochus, with his friends, came to the place as though he would marry her, and that he might receive great sums of money under the title of a dowry.
