2 Maccabees 3:4-6

Wycliffe Bible

⁴ Forsooth Simon, of the lineage of Benjamin, that was ordained sovereign [or provost] of the temple, when the prince of priests against-stood him, strove for to cast some wicked thing in the city.

⁵ But when he might not overcome Onias, he came to Apollonius, son of Thraseus, that in that time was duke of Celosyria and Phenice (who was then governor of Greater Syria and Phoenicia);

⁶ and told to him, that the treasury in Jerusalem was full with riches [or with monies] unnumberable; and that common riches be great, which pertain not to the reason (or to the account) of (the) sacrifices; forsooth that it was possible, that all things fall under (the) power of the king.
