2 Maccabees 4:29 In-Context

27 Menelaus took authority but didn't send any of the promised money to the king.
28 Sostratus the commander of the elevated fortress demanded settlement of the debt, for he had the responsibility of collecting payment. Finally, the two were summoned by the king.
29 Menelaus left behind as deputy of the high priesthood his own brother Lysimachus, and Sostratus left Crates, who was commander of the troops from Cyprus.
30 While these things were happening, the people of Tarsus and Mallus rebelled when their cities were given as a gift to Antiochis, the king's secondary wife.
31 The king swiftly set off to restore order to the situation, leaving Andronicus, one of his high-ranking officials, as his deputy.
