Good News Translation

⁴⁹ Some of the people of Tyre, however, showed their disgust with this crime and their respect for these men by giving them a splendid funeral. ⁵⁰ Menelaus stayed on in his position because of the greed of those in power. He grew more evil every day and became the worst enemy of his own people.
