2MAC.7:1 It came to passe also that seuen brethren with their mother were taken, and compelled by the king against the lawe to taste swines flesh, and were tormented with scourges,& whips: 7:24 Now Antiochus thinking himselfe despised, and suspecting it to be a reprochfull speach, whiles the yongest was yet aliue, did not onely exhort him by wordes, but also assured him with oathes, that he would make him both a rich, and a happy man, if hee would turne from the Lawes of his fathers, and that also he would take him for his friend, and trust him with affaires. 7:25 But when the yong man would in no case hearken vnto him, the king called his mother, and exhorted her, that she would counsell the yong man to saue his life. 7:40 So this man died vndefiled, and put his whole trust in the Lord. 7:41 Last of all after the sonnes, the mother died. 7:42 Let this be ynough now to haue spoken cōcerning the idolatrous feasts, and the extreme tortures.
