2 Maccabees 5:23

23 and at Gerizim, Andronicus; and besides, Menelaus, who worse than all the rest, bore a heavy hand over the citizens, having a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews.

2 Maccabees 5:23 In-Context

21 So when Antiochus had carried out of the temple a thousand and eight hundred talents, he departed with all haste unto Antioch, believing in his pride to make the land navigable and the sea passable on foot; such was the haughtiness of his mind!

22 And he left governors to vex the nation: at Jerusalem, Philip, by his country a Phrygian, and in manners more barbarous than he that set him there;

23 and at Gerizim, Andronicus; and besides, Menelaus, who worse than all the rest, bore a heavy hand over the citizens, having a malicious mind against his countrymen the Jews.

24 He sent also that detestable ringleader Apollonius with an army of two and twenty thousand, commanding him to slay all those who were at their best age and to sell the women and the younger sort.

25 So coming to Jerusalem and pretending peace, he forbore till the holy day of the Sabbath when, taking the Jews keeping holy day, he commanded his men to arm themselves.
