In context
13Onias the high priest, induced by these words, although for other reasons anxious that King Seleucus should not suppose that Apollonius was slain by human device and not by Divine punishment, prayed for him;
14and he being thus unexpectedly saved, departed to manifest to the king what had happened to him.
— 4 Maccabees 4:15 —
16Who having deposed Onias from the high priesthood, appointed his brother Jason to be high priest:
17who had made a covenant, if he would give him this authority, to pay yearly three thousand six hundred and sixty talents.
