34 Wherefore Menela´us, taking Andron´icus apart, prayed him to get Oni´as into his hands; who being persuaded thereunto, and coming to Oni´as in deceit, gave him his right hand with oaths; and though he were suspected by him, yet persuaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary: whom forthwith he shut up without regard of justice.
35 For the which cause not only the Jews, but many also of other nations, took great indignation, and were much grieved for the unjust murder of the man.
36 And when the king was come again from the places about Cili´cia, the Jews that were in the city, and certain of the Greeks that abhorred the fact also, complained because Oni´as was slain without cause.
37 Therefore An-ti´ochus was heartily sorry, and moved to pity, and wept, because of the sober and modest behavior of him that was dead.
38 And being kindled with anger, forthwith he took away Andron´icus his purple, and rent off his clothes, and leading him through the whole city unto that very place, where he had committed impiety against Oni´as, there slew he the cursed murderer. Thus the Lord rewarded him his punishment, as he had deserved.
39 Now when many sacrileges had been committed in the city by Lysim´achus with the consent of Menela´us, and the bruit thereof was spread abroad, the multitude gathered themselves together against Lysim´achus, many vessels of gold being already carried away.
40 Whereupon the common people rising, and being filled with rage, Lysim´achus armed about three thousand men, and began first to offer violence; one Aura´nus being the leader, a man far gone in years, and no less in folly.
