2 Maccabees 4:29 In-Context

27 Although Menelaus continued to hold the office, he did not pay regularly any of the money promised to the king.

28 When Sostratus the captain of the citadel kept requesting payment—for the collection of the revenue was his responsibility—the two of them were summoned by the king on account of this issue.

29 Menelaus left his own brother Lysimachus as deputy in the high priesthood, while Sostratus left Crates, the commander of the Cyprian troops.

30 While such was the state of affairs, it happened that the people of Tarsus and of Mallus revolted because their cities had been given as a present to Antiochis, the king's concubine.

31 So the king went hurriedly to settle the trouble, leaving Andronicus, a man of high rank, to act as his deputy.
