1 Maccabees 6:8–16

And it came to pass, when the king heard these words, he was struck with amazement and greatly moved; and he laid him down upon ⁽his⁽ bed, and fell sick for grief, because it had not befallen him as he had looked for. And he was there many days, because great grief was renewed upon him; and he reckoned that he was about to die. And he called for all his Friends, and said unto them: ‘Sleep departeth from mine eyes, and ⁽my⁽ heart faileth for care. And I said in ⁽my⁽ heart, Unto what tribulation am I come, and how great a flood is it wherein I now am! For I was gracious and beloved in my power. But now I remember the evils which I did at Jerusalem, and that I took all the vessels of silver and gold that were therein, and sent forth ⁽armies⁽ to destroy the inhabitants of Judah without a cause. I perceive that on this account these evils are come upon me, and, behold, I perish through great grief in a strange land.’ And he called for Philip, one of his Friends, and set him over all his kingdom, and gave him ⁽his⁽ diadem, and his robe, and ⁽his⁽ signet-ring, to the end that he should educateAntiochus his son, and bring him up to be king. And king Antiochus died there in the one hundred and forty-ninth year.
