4 Maccabees 4:17 In-Context

15 When King Seleucus died, his son Antiochus Epiphanes succeeded to the throne, an arrogant and terrible man,
16 who removed Onias from the priesthood and appointed Onias's brother Jason as high priest.
17 Jason agreed that if the office were conferred upon him he would pay the king three thousand six hundred and sixty talents annually.
18 So the king appointed him high priest and ruler of the nation.
19 Jason changed the nation's way of life and altered its form of government in complete violation of the law,
