2 Maccabees 13:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ He embraced Machabeus, and made him governor and prince from Ptolemais unto the Gerrenians.

²⁵ But when he was come to Ptolemais, the men of that city were much displeased with the conditions of the peace, being angry for fear they should break the covenant.

²⁶ Then Lysias went up to the judgment seat, and set forth the reason, and appeased the people, and returned to Antioch: and thus matters went with regard to the king's coming and his return.
