2 Maccabees 4:27

27 So Menelaus got the principality; but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he failed to deal with it accordingly, albeit Sostratus the ruler of the castle required it,

2 Maccabees 4:27 In-Context

25 So he came with the king's mandate, bringing nothing worthy of the high priesthood, but having the fury of a cruel tyrant and the rage of a savage beast.

26 Then Jason, who had undermined his own brother, being undermined by another, was compelled to flee into the country of the Ammonites.

27 So Menelaus got the principality; but as for the money that he had promised unto the king, he failed to deal with it accordingly, albeit Sostratus the ruler of the castle required it,

28 for unto him appertained the gathering of the customs. Therefore they were both called before the king.

29 Now Menelaus left his brother Lysimachus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sostratus left Crates, who was governor of the Cyprians.
