2 Maccabees 9:27-29

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

²⁷ For I am sure that he will follow my policy and will treat you with moderation and kindness.”

²⁸ So the murderer and blasphemer, having endured the most intense suffering, such as he had inflicted on others, came to the end of his life by a most pitiable fate, among the mountains in a strange land. ²⁹ And Philip, one of his courtiers, took his body home; then, fearing the son of Anti′ochus, he betook himself to Ptol′emy Philome′tor in Egypt.
