2 Maccabees 13:3-5

Wycliffe Bible

³ Forsooth and Menelaus joined him(self) to them, and with great deceit besought Antiochus, not for (the) health (or for the deliverance) of the country, but hoping that he should be ordained into princehood.

⁴ But the King of kings raised the wills of Antiochus against the sinner; and when Lysias showed that he was (the) cause of all evils, he commanded, as custom is to them, him (to be) taken (and) for to be slain in the same place.

⁵ Soothly in the same place was a tower of fifty cubits, having on each side a gathering of ashes (or full of ashes); this was beholding into a ditch.
