2 Maccabees 14:25-27

Wycliffe Bible

²⁵ and prayed him for to wed a wife, and [to] (en)gender sons; and he made weddings, did quietly, and they lived commonly, or communally, or together.

²⁶ Alcimus forsooth saw the charity (or the love) of them together, and accordings, and came to Demetrius, and said, that Nicanor assenteth to alien, either other men’s, things, and hath ordained Judas, (a) traitor of the realm, (to be) (the) successor to him. [Alcimus forsooth, seeing the charity of them together, and accordings, came to Demetrius, and said, Nicanor for to assent to alien, or other men’s, things, and to have ordained Judas, traitor of the realm, successor to him.]

²⁷ Therefore the king was made sharp, and stirred to wrath with such worst accusings, and wrote to Nicanor, and said, [or saying], that soothly he bare grievously of (the) according of friendship, and nevertheless commanded for to send Maccabeus bound to Antioch.
