[277]
But after Cassius was gone out of Judea, Malichus laid snares for
Antipater, as thinking that his death would-be the preservation of Hyrcanus's
government; but his design was not unknown to Antipater, which when he
perceived, he retired beyond Jordan, and got together an army, partly of
Arabs, and partly of his own countrymen. However, Malichus, being one of
great cunning, denied that he had laid any snares for him, and made his
defense with an oath, both to himself and his sons; and said that while
Phasaelus had a garrison in Jerusalem, and Herod had the weapons of war
in his custody, he could never have a thought of any such thing. So Antipater,
perceiving the distress that Malichus was in, was reconciled to him, and
made an agreement with him: this was when Marcus was president of Syria;
who yet perceiving that this Malichus was making a disturbance in Judea,
proceeded so far that he had almost killed him; but still, at the intercession
of Antipater, he saved him.
