1 Maccabees 13:17-19

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

¹⁷ Now Simon knew that he spoke deceitfully to him, nevertheless he ordered the money, and the children to be sent: lest he should bring upon himself a great hatred of the people of Israel, who might have said:

¹⁸ Because he sent not the money, and the children, therefore is he lost.

¹⁹ So he sent the children, and the hundred talents: and he lied, and did not let Jonathan go.
