14. King Antiochus had gone to the temple with some of his most trusted advisers, so that he might marry the goddess and then take away most of the temple treasures as a wedding gift.
15. After the priests had laid out the treasure, he and a few of his men went into the temple to collect it. But the priests closed the doors behind him
16. and stoned him and his men from trapdoors hidden in the ceiling. Then they cut up the bodies and threw the heads to the people outside.
17. Praise God for punishing those evil men! Praise him for everything!
