II Mac 3:7
|
Now when Apollonius had given the king notice concerning the money that he was told of, he called for Heliodorus, who had the charge over his affairs, and sent him with commission to bring him the foresaid money.
|
|
II Mac 3:8
|
So Heliodorus forthwith began his journey, under a colour of visiting the cities of Celesyria and Phenicia, but indeed to fulfill the king's purpose.
|
|
II Mac 3:14
|
So on the day he had appointed, Heliodorus entered in to order this matter. But there was no small terror throughout the whole city.
|
|
II Mac 3:23
|
But Heliodorus executed that which he had resolved on, himself being present in the same place with his guard about the treasury.
|
|
II Mac 3:25
|
For there appeared to them a horse with a terrible rider upon him, adorned with a very rich covering: and he ran fiercely and struck Heliodorus with his fore feet, and he that sat upon him seemed to have armour of gold.
|
|
II Mac 3:27
|
And Heliodorus suddenly fell to the ground, and they took him up covered with great darkness, and having put him into a litter they carried him out.
|
|
II Mac 3:31
|
Then some of the friends of Heliodorus forthwith begged of Onias, that he would call upon the most High to grant him his life, who was ready to give up the ghost.
|
|
II Mac 3:32
|
So the high priest considering that the king might perhaps suspect that some mischief had been done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacrifice of health for the recovery of the man.
|
|
II Mac 3:33
|
And when the high priest was praying, the same young men in the same clothing stood by Heliodorus, and said to him: Give thanks to Onias the priest: because for his sake the Lord hath granted thee life.
|
|
II Mac 3:35
|
So Heliodorus after he had offered a sacrifice to God, and made great vows to him, that had granted him life, and given thanks to Onias, taking his troops with him, returned to the king.
|
|
II Mac 3:37
|
And when the king asked Heliodorus, who might be a fit man to be sent yet once more to Jerusalem, he said:
|
|
II Mac 3:40
|
And the things concerning Heliodorus, and the keeping of the treasury fell out in this manner.
|
|
II Mac 4:1
|
But Simon, of whom we spoke before, who was the betrayer of the money, and of his country, spoke ill of Onias, as though he had incited Heliodorus to do these things, and had been the promoter of evils:
|
|
II Mac 5:18
|
Otherwise had they not been involved in many sins, as Heliodorus, who was sent by king Seleucus to rob the treasury, so this man also, as soon as he had come, had been forthwith scourged, and put back from his presumption.
