2. And it happened that, as he entered into the house of the kingdom of his fathers, the army captured Antiochus and Lysias, to bring them to him.

3. And the matter became known to him, and he said, "Do not show me their face."

4. And so the army killed them. And Demetrius sat upon the throne of his kingdom.
