2 Maccabees 4:43

43 For these matters, therefore, there was an accusation laid against Menelaus.

2 Maccabees 4:43 In-Context

41 Then, seeing the attempt of Lysimachus, some of them caught stones, some clubs, others taking handfuls of dust that was near at hand, cast them all together upon Lysimachus and those who set upon them.
42 Thus many of them they wounded, and some they struck to the ground, and all of them they forced to flee; but as for the church robber himself, him they killed beside the treasury.
43 For these matters, therefore, there was an accusation laid against Menelaus.
44 Now when the king came to Tyre, three men who were sent from the senate pleaded the cause before him.
45 But Menelaus, being now convicted, promised Ptolemy the son of Dorymenes to give him much money if he would pacify the king toward him.
