However, when Cassius was gone Malichus forgot the kindness that
Antipater had done him, and laid frequent plots against him that had saved
him, as making haste to get him out of the way, who was an obstacle to
his wicked practices; but Antipater was so much afraid of the power and
cunning of the man, that he went beyond Jordan, in order to get an army
to guard himself against his treacherous designs; but when Malichus was
caught in his plot, he put upon Antipater's sons by his impudence, for
he thoroughly deluded Phasaelus, who was the guardian of Jerusalem, and
Herod who was intrusted with the weapons of war, and this by a great many
excuses and oaths, and persuaded them to procure his reconciliation to
his father. Thus was he preserved again by Antipater, who dissuaded Marcus,
the then president of Syria, from his resolution of killing Malichus, on
account of his attempts for innovation.
