2 Maccabees 9:22

2 Maccabees 9:22 Context

²⁰If ye, and your children fare well, and your affaires be to your contentment, I giue very great thankes to God, hauing my hope in heauen. ²¹As for mee I was weake, or else I would haue remembred kindly your honour, and good will. Returning out of Persia, and being taken with a grieuous disease, I thought it necessary to care for the common safety of all: ²²Not distrusting mine health, but hauing great hope to escape this sicknes ²³But considering that euen my father, at what time he led an armie into the hie countries, appointed a successor, ²⁴To the end, that if any thing fell out contrary to expectation, or if any tidings were brought that were grieuous, they of the land knowing to whom the state was left, might not be troubled.
