2 Maccabees 4:43 In-Context

41 When the people saw Lysimachus' assault, they grabbed stones and blocks of wood—some even took handfuls of ashes—and they hurled these at Lysimachus' men, causing great confusion.

42 In the end, they wounded many, killed some, and forced all of them to flee. They overpowered and killed the temple plunderer Lysimachus near the treasury.

43 The people brought charges against Menelaus regarding these matters.

44 When the king arrived in Tyre, the council of elders sent three men to present the case before him.

45 But Menelaus, without an ally, promised enough money to Ptolemy, Dorymenes' son, to gain the king's support.
