2 Maccabees 3:3-5

Common English Bible

³ Seleucus the king of Asia even supplied all expenses for the sacrificial service from his own revenues. ⁴ But a certain Simon from the tribe of Benjamin, who had been appointed administrator of the temple, had a difference of opinion with the high priest about the management of the city market. ⁵ Since he wasn’t able to overcome Onias, he went to Thraseas’ son Apollonius, who was governor of Coele-Syria and Phoenicia at that time.
