The Cambridge Paragraph Bible of the Authorized English VersionOther versions

13For when the leader was come into rPersia, and the army with him that seemed invincible, they were slain in the temple of Nanea by the deceit of Nanea’s priests. 14For sAntiochus, as though he would marry her, came into the place, and his friends that were with him, to receive money in name of a dowry. 15Which when the priests of Nanea had iset forth, and he was entered with a small company into the compass of the temple, they shut the temple as soon as Antiochus was come in: 16and opening a privy door of the roof, they threw tstones like thunderbolts, and stroke down the captain, hewed them in pieces, smote off their heads, and cast them to those that were without.
