2 Maccabees 14:12 Context
10For as long as Iudas liueth, it is not possible that the state should be quiet. 11This was no sooner spoken of him, but others of the kings friends being malitiously set against Iudas, did more incense Demetrius. 12And foorthwith calling Nicanor, who had bene master of the Elephants, and making him gouernour ouer Iudea, he sent him forth, 13Cōmanding him to slay Iudas, & to scatter them that were [wt] him, & to make Alcimus high priest of the great Temple. 14Then the heathen that had fled out of Iudea from Iudas, came to Nicanor by flocks, thinking the harme and calamities of the Iewes, to be their well-fare.
