7 Therefore they bare branches, and fair boughs, and palms also, and sang psalms unto him that had given them good success in cleansing his place.
8 They ordained also by a common statute and decree, That every year those days should be kept of the whole nation of the Jews.
9 And this was the end of An-ti´ochus, called E-piph´anes.
10 Now will we declare the acts of An-ti´ochus Eu´pator, who was the son of this wicked man, gathering briefly the calamities of the wars.
11 So when he was come to the crown, he set one Lys´i-as over the affairs of his realm, and appointed him his chief governor of Coelesyr´ia and Phoeni´cia.
12 For Ptolemy, that was called Macron, choosing rather to do justice unto the Jews for the wrong that had been done unto them, endeavored to continue peace with them.
13 Whereupon being accused of the king's friends before Eu´pator, and called traitor at every word, because he had left Cyprus, that Philome´tor had committed unto him, and departed to An-ti´ochus E-piph´anes, and seeing that he was in no honorable place, he was so discouraged, that he poisoned himself and died.
