2 Maccabees 14:23

²¹And appointed a day to meet in together by themselves: and when the day came, and stools were set for either of them,

²²Ludas placed armed men ready in convenient places, lest some treachery should be suddenly practised by the enemies: so they made a peaceable conference.

— 2 Maccabees 14:23 —

²⁴And he would not willingly have Judas out of his sight: for he love the man from his heart

²⁵He prayed him also to take a wife, and to beget children: so he married, was quiet, and took part of this life.
