¹¹ Alcimus had no sooner finished speaking when the rest of the political advisors,^[a] who strongly disliked Judas, further enraged Demetrius. ¹² Immediately choosing Nicanor the commander of the elephants and appointing him governor of Judea, the king sent him out ¹³ with written orders to kill Judas and scatter those with him, and to install Alcimus as high priest of the greatest temple.
