2 Maccabees 4:3-5

Wycliffe Bible

³ But when (their) enmities came forth in so much, that also by some familiar, [or nigh], friends of Simon, man-slayings were done,

⁴ Onias beheld the peril of strife [or Onias, beholding the peril of strife], and that Apollonius was mad, as duke of Celosyria and Phenice (or as the governor of Greater Syria and Phoenicia), for to increase the malice of Simon.

⁵ And Onias gave himself to the king; not as (an) accuser of (the) citizens, but beholding with himself the common profit of all the multitude.
