2 Maccabees 14:26 Context
23Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did no hurt, but sent away the people that came flocking unto him. 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. 26But Alcimus, perceiving the love that was betwixt 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. 27Then the king being in a rage, and provoked with the accusations of the most wicked man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying that he was much displeased with the covenants, and commanding him that he should send Maccabeus prisoner in all haste unto Antioch. 28When this came to Nicanor's hearing, he was much confounded in himself, and took it grievously that he should make void the articles which were agreed upon, the man being in no fault. 29But because there was no dealing against the king, he watched his time to accomplish this thing by policy.
