2 Maccabees 4:31-33

Common English Bible

³¹ The king swiftly set off to restore order to the situation, leaving Andronicus, one of his high-ranking officials, as his deputy. ³² Menelaus recognized an opportunity, seized some of the temple’s gold equipment, and made them a gift to Andronicus, though he had already sold some of them in Tyre and the surrounding cities. ³³ When he became aware of what was happening, Onias made accusations against Menelaus after arriving at a safe and sacred place in Daphne near Antioch.
