uda were put to flight: 6:6. And that Lysias went with a very great power, and was put to flight before the face of the Jews, and that they were grown strong by the armour, and power, and store of spoils which they had gotten out of the camps which they had destroyed: 6:7. And that they had thrown down the abomination which he had set up upon the altar in Jerusalem, and that they had compassed about the sanctuary with high walls as before, and Bethsura also, his city. 6:8. And it came to pass, when the king heard these words, that he was struck with fear, and exceedingly moved: and he laid himself down upon his bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not fallen out to him as he imagined. 6:9. And he remained there many days: for great grief came more and more upon him, and he made account that he should die. 6:10. And he called for all his friends, and said to them: Sleep is gone from my eyes, and I am fallen away, and my heart is cast down for anxiety: 6:11. And I said in my heart: Into how much tribulation am I come, and into what floods of sorrow wherein now I am: I that was pleasant and beloved in my power! 6:12. But now I remember the evils that I did in Jerusalem, from whence also I took away all the spoils of gold, and of silver, that were in it, and I sent to destroy the inhabitants of Juda without cause. 6:13. I know, therefore, that for this cause these evils have found me: and behold I perish with great grief in a strange land. 6:14. Then he called Philip, one of his friends, and he made him regent over all his kingdom. 6:15. And he gave him the crown, and his robe, and his ring, that he should go to Antiochus, his son, and should bring him up for the kingdom. 6:16. So king Antiochus died there in the year one hundred and forty- nine. 6:17. And Lysias understood that the king was dead, and he set up Antiochus, his son, to reign, whom he had brought up young: and he called his name Eupator. 6:18. Now they that were in the castle, had shut up the Israelites round about the holy places: and they were continually seeking their hurt, and to strengthen the Gentiles. 6:19. And Judas purposed to destroy them: and he called together all the people, to besiege them. 6:20. And they came together, and besieged them in the year one hundred and fifty, and they made battering slings and engines. 6:21. And some of the besieged got out: and some wicked men of Israel joined themselves
