And there came out of them a wicked root
Antiochus surnamed Epiphanes, son of
Antiochus the king, who had been an
hostage at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and thirty and seventh year of the kingdom of the Greeks.
Now when the kingdom was established before
Antiochus, he thought to reign over Egypt that he might have the dominion of two realms.
And after that
Antiochus had
smitten Egypt, he returned again in the hundred forty and third year, and went up against Israel and Jerusalem with a great multitude,
Moreover king
Antiochus wrote to his whole kingdom, that all should be one people,
Now when king
Antiochus heard these things, he was full of
indignation: wherefore he sent and gathered together all the forces of his realm, even a very strong army.

Antiochus, until he came again.

Now when

Judas’ soldiers, and how they were ready either to live or die
valiantly, he went into

Judea.
About that time king
Antiochus travelling through the high countries heard say, that Elymais in the country of Persia was a city greatly
renowned for riches, silver, and gold;
And gave him the crown, and his
robe, and his
signet, to the end he should bring up his son
Antiochus, and
nourish him up for the kingdom.
So king
Antiochus died there in the hundred forty and ninth year.
Now when
Lysias knew that the king was dead, he set up
Antiochus his son, whom he had brought up being young, to reign in his
stead, and his name he called Eupator.
At that time
Lysias heard say, that Philip, whom
Antiochus the king, whiles he lived, had appointed to bring up his son
Antiochus, that he might be king,
Afterward departed he in all
haste, and returned unto
Antiochia, where he found Philip to be master of the city: so he fought against him, and took the city by force.

Antiochus and
Lysias, to bring them unto him.
How also
Antiochus the great king of Asia, that came against them in battle, having an hundred and twenty elephants, with

sorry, and returned into
Antioch.

Moreover there was one Tryphon, that had been of Alexander’s part
afore, who, seeing that all the host
murmured against
Demetrius, went to Simalcue the Arabian that brought up
Antiochus the young son of Alexander,
And lay
sore upon him to deliver him this young
Antiochus, that he might reign in his father’s
stead: he told him therefore all that
Demetrius had done, and how his men of war were at
enmity with him, and there he remained a long season.
Upon this
Jonathan sent him three thousand strong men unto
Antioch: and when they came to the king, the king was very
glad of their coming.
After this returned Tryphon, and with him the young child
Antiochus, who reigned, and was crowned.
Moreover Tryphon took the elephants, and won Antioch.
At that time young
Antiochus wrote unto
Jonathan, saying, I
confirm thee in the high priesthood, and
appoint thee ruler over the four governments, and to be one of the king’s friends.
For this cause we chose Numenius the son of
Antiochus, and
Antipater he son of
Jason, and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the
amity that we had with them, and the former league.

Antiochus the king, that he might set the crown upon his own head.

Antiochus, and
Antipater son of
Jason, the Jews’ ambassadors, came unto us to renew the friendship they had with us.
Moreover
Antiochus son of
Demetrius the king sent letters from the isles of the sea unto Simon the priest and prince of the Jews, and to all the people;
The contents
whereof were these: King
Antiochus to Simon the high priest and prince of his nation, and to the people of the Jews,
greeting:
In the hundred
threescore and
fourteenth year went
Antiochus into the land of his fathers: at which time all the forces came together unto him, so that few were left with Tryphon.
Wherefore being pursued by king
Antiochus, he fled unto Dora, which lieth by the sea side:
Then camped
Antiochus against Dora, having with him an hundred and twenty thousand men of war, and eight thousand
horsemen.
So
Antiochus the king camped against Dora the second day,
assaulting it continually, and making engines, by which means he shut up Tryphon, that he could neither go out nor in.

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.

And the wars against
Antiochus Epiphanes, and Eupator his son,
But after the death of Seleucus, when
Antiochus, called Epiphanes, took the kingdom,
Jason the brother of Onias laboured underhand to be high priest,
Beside this, he promised to
assign an hundred and fifty more, if he might have licence to set him up a place for exercise, and for the training up of youth in the fashions of the heathen, and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of
Antiochians.
This
ungracious Jason sent special messengers from Jerusalem, who were
Antiochians, to carry three hundred drachms of silver to the sacrifice of
Hercules, which even the bearers thereof thought fit not to
bestow upon the sacrifice, because it was not convenient, but to be reserved for other charges.
Now when
Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent into Egypt for the
coronation of king Ptolemeus Philometor,
Antiochus, understanding him not to be well affected to his affairs, provided for his own safety:
whereupon he came to
Joppa, and from thence to Jerusalem:
While those things were in doing, they of
Tarsus and Mallos made insurrection, because they were given to the king’s
concubine, called
Antiochus.
Which when Onias knew of a
surety, he reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at
Daphne, that lieth by
Antiochia.
About the same time
Antiochus prepared his second voyage into Egypt:
Now when there was gone forth a false rumour, as though
Antiochus had been dead,
Jason took at the least a thousand men, and suddenly made an
assault upon the city; and they that were upon the walls being put back, and the city at length taken,
Menelaus fled into the castle:
And so
haughty was
Antiochus in mind, that he considered not that the Lord was
angry for a while for the sins of them that dwelt in the city, and therefore his eye was not upon the place.
So when
Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he departed in all
haste unto
Antiochia,
weening in his pride to make the land navigable, and the sea passable by foot: such was the
haughtiness of his mind.
Now
Antiochus, thinking himself
despised, and
suspecting it to be a reproachful speech, whilst the youngest was yet alive, did not only
exhort him by words, but also
assured him with oaths, that he would make him both a rich and a happy man, if he would turn from the laws of his fathers; and that also he would take him for his friend, and trust him with affairs.
He was through the help of the Lord brought down by them, of whom he made least account; and putting off his glorious
apparel, and discharging his company, he came like a
fugitive servant through the
midland unto
Antioch having very great dishonour, for that his host was destroyed.
About that time came
Antiochus with dishonour out of the country of Persia
For he had entered the city called
Persepolis, and went about to
rob the temple, and to hold the city;
whereupon the multitude running to defend themselves with their weapons put them to flight; and so it happened, that
Antiochus being put to flight of the inhabitants returned with shame.
Antiochus, king and governor, to the good Jews his citizens wisheth much joy, health, and prosperity:
Again, considering how that the princes that are borderers and neighbours unto my kingdom wait for
opportunities, and expect what shall be the event. I have appointed my son
Antiochus king, whom I often committed and
commended unto many of you, when I went up into the high provinces; to whom I have written as followeth:
And Philip, that was brought up with him, carried away his body, who also fearing the son of
Antiochus went into Egypt to Ptolemeus Philometor.
