2 Maccabees 14:24

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

²³Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no hurt, but sent away the people that came flocking unto him.

— 2 Maccabees 14:24 —

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

²⁶But Alcimus, perceiving the love that was between them, and considering the covenants that were made, came to Demetrius, and told him that Nicanor was not well affected toward the state: for that he had ordained Judas, a traitor to his realm, to be the king’s successor.
