2 Maccabees 5:8-10

Common English Bible

⁸ Finally, he came to a miserable end. Brought up on charges before Aretas the Arab tyrant, he fled from city to city, chased by everyone. Hated as a traitor to the laws and loathed as the murderer of his native land and citizens, he was cast ashore in Egypt. ⁹ He, who had exiled many from their homeland, died in a foreign land after he sailed to the Spartans to seek protection because of their kinship. ¹⁰ So the one who had cast out a crowd of corpses to lie unburied died without mourning and received no funeral or place in his ancestral burial plot.
