24 But he being brought to the presence of the king, when he had magnified him for the glorious appearance of his power, got the priesthood to himself, offering more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver.
25 So he came with the king's mandate, bringing nothing worthy the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant, and the rage of a savage beast.
26 Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the country of the Ammonites.
27 So Menela´us got the principality: but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he took no good order for it, albeit Sos´tratus the ruler of the castle required it:
28 for unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. Wherefore they were both called before the king.
29 Now Menela´us left his brother Lysim´achus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sos´tratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians.
30 While those things were in doing, they of Tarsus and Mallos made insurrection, because they were given to the king's concubine, called An´ti-ochis.
