The Cambridge Paragraph Bible of the Authorized English VersionOther versions

32Now Menelaus, supposing that he had gotten a convenient time, rstole certain vessels of gold out of the temple, and gave some of them to Andronicus, and some he sold into sTyrus and the cities round about. 33Which when Onias knew of a surety, he reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sanctuary at Daphne, that lieth by tAntiochia. 34Wherefore Menelaus, taking Andronicus apart, prayed him to get Onias into his hands; who being persuaded thereunto, and coming to Onias in deceit, gave him his right hand with oaths; and though he were suspected by him, yet persuaded he him to come forth of the sanctuary: whom forthwith he shut up without regard of justice.
