Yet did not these men continue quiet when they were come back, but
a thousand of the Jews came to Tyre to meet him there, whither the report
was that he would come. But Antony was corrupted by the money which Herod
and his brother had given him; and so he gave order to the governor of
the place to punish the Jewish ambassadors, who were for making innovations,
and to settle the government upon Herod; but Herod went out hastily to
them, and Hyrcanus was with him, (for they stood upon the shore before
the city,) and he charged them to go their ways, because great mischief
would befall them if they went on with their accusation. But they did not
acquiesce; whereupon the Romans ran upon them with their daggers, and slew
some, and wounded more of them, and the rest fled away and went home, and
lay still in great consternation. And when the people made a clamor against
Herod, Antony was so provoked at it, that he slew the prisoners.
