2 Maccabees 13:1-3

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

13 In the year one hundred and forty-nine, Judas understood that Antiochus Eupator was coming with a multitude against Judea,

² And with him Lysias the regent, who had charge over the affairs of the realm, having with him a hundred and ten thousand footmen, five thousand horsemen, twenty-two elephants, and three hundred chariots armed with hooks.

³ Menelaus also joined himself with them: and with great deceitfulness besought Antiochus, not for the welfare of his country, but in hopes that he should be appointed chief ruler.
