2 Maccabees 10:19-21

Good News Translation

¹⁹ Judas had to go on to some other places in the country, where he was more urgently needed, but he left behind Simon and Joseph, together with Zacchaeus and his men. This force was large enough to continue the siege, ²⁰ but some of Simon's men were greedy, and when they were offered 140 pounds of silver, they let some of the enemy escape from the forts. ²¹ When Judas heard what had happened, he called together the leaders of his troops and accused those men of selling their brothers by setting their enemies free to fight against them.
