2 Maccabees 4:3 Context
1This Simon now (of whō wee spake afore) hauing bin a bewrayer of the money, and of his countrey, slandered Onias, as if he had terrified Heliodorus, and bene the worker of these euils. 2Thus was hee bold to call him a traitour, that had deserued well of the citie, and tendred his owne nation, and was so zealous of the lawes. 3But when their hatred went so farre, that by one of Simons faction murthers were committed, 4Onias seeing the danger of this contention, and that Appollonius, as being the gouernour of Coelosyria and Phenice, did rage, and increase Simons malice, 5He went to the king, not to be an accuser of his countrey men, but seeking the good of all, both publike, & priuate.
