But as the truth came out in time, it appeared how the affairs of
Jotapata really stood; yet was it found that the death of Josephus was
a fiction; and when they understood that he was alive, and was among the
Romans, and that the commanders treated him at another rate than they treated
captives, they were as vehemently angry at him now as they had showed their
good-will before, when he appeared to have been dead. He was also abused
by some as having been a coward, and by others as a deserter; and the city
was full of indignation at him, and of reproaches cast upon him; their
rage was also aggravated by their afflictions, and more inflamed by their
ill success; and what usually becomes an occasion of caution to wise men,
I mean affliction, became a spur to them to venture on further calamities,
and the end of one misery became still the beginning of another; they therefore
resolved to fall on the Romans the more vehemently, as resolving to be
revenged on him in revenging themselves on the Romans. And this was the
state of Jerusalem as to the troubles which now came upon it.
