2 Maccabees 4:37-39

Common English Bible

³⁷ Antiochus was deeply grieved, moved to pity and tears, because of the modest behavior and good conduct of the dead man. ³⁸ Burning with anger, he immediately stripped off Andronicus’ purple robe, tore off his clothes, and dragged him around the whole city to the place where he had wrongfully killed Onias. There he rid the world of the murderer, giving him the punishment he deserved from the Lord.

³⁹ With Menelaus’ approval, Lysimachus committed many sacrilegious acts against the city. There was a report that he smuggled much of the temple’s gold equipment abroad, so the populace gathered together against Lysimachus.
