11 Having been saved by God out of great perils, as men arrayed against a king, we thank him greatly.
12 For himself cast forth into Persia them that arrayed themselves against us in the holy city.
13 For when the prince was come there, and the army with him that seemed irresistible, they were cut to pieces in the temple of Nanaea by the treachery of Nanaea’s priests.
14 For Antiochus, on the pretense that he would marry her, came into the place, he and his Friends that were with him, that they might take a great part of the treasures in name of a dowry.
15 And when the priests of Nanaea’s temple had set the treasures forth, and he was come there with a small company within the wall of the precincts, they shut to the temple when Antiochus was come in:
16 and opening the secret door of the panelled cieling, they threw stones and struck down the prince, and they hewed him and his company in pieces, and struck off their heads, and cast them to those that were without.
17 Blessed be our God in all things, who gave for a prey them that had committed impiety.
