2 Maccabees 4:22-24

Wycliffe Bible

²² And he was received of (or by) Jason and the city worshipfully (or honourably), with (the) lights of brands, and praisings, and went in, and from thence he turned the host into Phenice (or unto Phoenicia).

²³ And after the time of three years Jason sent Menelaus, the brother of Simon above-said, bearing riches [or monies] to the king, and of necessary causes to bearing answers.

²⁴ And he was commended to the king, and, when he had magnified the face of his power, he turned into (or unto) himself the highest priesthood, and setted above Jason three hundred talents of silver (or he got for himself the highest priesthood, and offered more than Jason by three hundred talents of silver). [And he commended to the king, when he had magnified the face of his power, turned into himself the highest priesthood, above putting to Jason three hundred talents of silver.]
