2 Maccabees 4:18 Context
16By reason whereof sore calamity came vpon them: for they had them to be their enemies and auengers, whose custome they followed so earnestly, and vnto whom they desired to be like in all things. 17For it is not a light thing to doe wickedly against the lawes of God, but the time following shall declare these things. 18Now when the game that was vsed euery fift yere was kept at Tyrus, the king being present, 19This vngracious Iason sent speciall messengers from Ierusalem, who were Antiochians, to carie three hundred drachmes of siluer to the sacrifice of Hercules, which euen the bearers therof thought fit not to bestow vpon the sacrifice, because it was not conuenient, but to be reserued for other charges. 20This money then in regard of the sender, was appointed to Hercules sacrifice, but because of the bearers thereof, it was imployed to the making of gallies.
