When Seleucus died and Antiochus who was called Epiphanes succeeded to the kingdom, Jason the brother of Onias obtained the high priesthood by corruption, (2 Maccabees 4, 7)
promising the king at an interview three hundred and sixty talents of silver and, from another source of revenue, eighty talents. (2 Maccabees 4, 8)
When the king assented and Jason came to office, he at once shifted his countrymen over to the Greek way of life. (2 Maccabees 4, 10)
There was such an extreme of Hellenization and increase in the adoption of foreign ways because of the surpassing wickedness of Jason, who was ungodly and no high priest, (2 Maccabees 4, 13)
For this reason heavy disaster overtook them, and those whose ways of living they admired and wished to imitate completely became their enemies and punished them. (2 Maccabees 4, 16)
the vile Jason sent envoys, chosen as being Antiochian citizens from Jerusalem, to carry three hundred silver drachmas for the sacrifice to Hercules. Those who carried the money, however, thought best not to use it for sacrifice, because that was inappropriate, but to expend it for another purpose. (2 Maccabees 4, 19)
So this money was intended by the sender for the sacrifice to Hercules, but by the decision of its carriers it was applied to the construction of triremes. (2 Maccabees 4, 20)
When Apollonius the son of Menestheus was sent to Egypt for the coronation of Philometor as king, Antiochus learned that Philometor had become hostile to his government, and he took measures for his own security. Therefore upon arriving at Joppa he proceeded to Jerusalem. (2 Maccabees 4, 21)
He was welcomed magnificently by Jason and the city, and ushered in with a blaze of torches and with shouts. Then he marched into Phoenicia. (2 Maccabees 4, 22)
After a period of three years Jason sent Menelaus, the brother of the previously mentioned Simon, to carry the money to the king and to complete the records of essential business. (2 Maccabees 4, 23)
But he, when presented to the king, extolled him with an air of authority, and secured the high priesthood for himself, outbidding Jason by three hundred talents of silver. (2 Maccabees 4, 24)
So Jason, who after supplanting his own brother was supplanted by another man, was driven as a fugitive into the land of Ammon. (2 Maccabees 4, 26)
