2 Maccabees 1:14 Context
11Insomuch as God hath delivered us from great perils, we thank him highly, as having been in battle against a king. 12For he cast them out that fought within the holy city. 13For when the leader was come into Persia, and the army with him that seemed invincible, they were slain in the temple of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea's priests. 14For Antiochus, as though he would marry her, came into the place, and his friends that were with him, to receive money in name of a dowry. 15Which when the priests of Nanea had set forth, and he was entered with a small company into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in: 16And opening a privy door of the roof, they threw stones like thunderbolts, and struck down the captain, hewed them in pieces, smote off their heads and cast them to those that were without. 17Blessed be our God in all things, who hath delivered up the ungodly.
