[229]
So Herod went to Samaria, which was then in a tumult, and settled
the city in peace; after which at the [Pentecost] festival, he returned
to Jerusalem, having his armed men with him: hereupon Hyrcanus, at the
request of Malichus, who feared his reproach, forbade them to introduce
foreigners to mix themselves with the people of the country while they
were purifying themselves; but Herod despised the pretense, and him that
gave that command, and came in by night. Upon which Malithus came to him,
and bewailed Antipater; Herod also made him believe [he admitted of his
lamentations as real], although he had much ado to restrain his passion
at him; however, he did himself bewail the murder of his father in his
letters to Cassius, who, on other accounts, also hated Malichus. Cassius
sent him word back that he should avenge his father's death upon him, and
privately gave order to the tribunes that were under him, that they should
assist Herod in a righteous action he was about.
