Jesus complied, and Josephus having severely threatened the Sepphorites, departed to quell new disturbances. On his way he encountered two officers of the king, from Trachonitis, who wished to join him with some horse ; these men the Jews would have forced to submit to circumcision. Josephus interfered, and asserted the right of every...
Pàgina 5 - NOTHING could present a more striking contrast to their native country than the region into which the Hebrews were transplanted. Instead of their irregular and picturesque mountain city, crowning its unequal heights, and looking down into its deep and precipitous ravines, through one of which a scanty stream wound along, they entered the vast, square, and level city of Babylon, occupying both sides of the broad Euphrates ; while all around spread immense plains, which were intersected by long, straight...
Pàgina 70 - An old man, named Onias, had the fame of having prayed for rain during a drought, and rain had immediately fallen. The party of Hyrcanus brought him out to employ his powerful prayers against Aristobulus.

Caesar was said to assign Herod the next place in his favour to Agrippa ; Agrippa to esteem Herod higher than any of his friends, except Augustus. Whenever either visited the eastern provinces, Herod was the first to pay his homage. To see Agrippa he sailed to Mitylene, and afterwards entertained Augustus himself in Syria. On one occasion, when Agrippa was engaged in war near the Bosphorus, Herod suddenly appeared with a large fleet,...
Pàgina 37 - The illfated city, according to the omen, fell without much resistance. The conqueror marched without delay against Jerusalem, put to death in three days' time 40,000 of the inhabitants, and seized as many more to be sold as slaves. Bad as this was, it was the common fate of rebellious cities : but Antiochus proceeded to more cruel and wanton outrages against the religion of the people. He entered every court of the Temple, pillaged the treasury, seized all the sacred utensils, the golden candlestick,...
Pàgina 50 - Among those lofty spirits who have asserted the liberty of their native land against wanton and cruel oppression, none have surpassed the most able of the Maccabees in accomplishing a great end with inadequate means; none ever united more generous valour with a better cause.

Pàgina 5 - ... were intersected by long straight canals, bordered by rows of willows. How unlike their national temple — a small but highly finished and richly adorned fabric, standing in the midst of its courts on the brow of a lofty precipice — the colossal temple of the Chaldean Bel , rising from the plain, with its eight stupendous stories or towers, one above the other, to the perpendicular height of a furlong!
