Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Works of Flavius Josephus, Vol. 5 But for the present sedition, one would not be wrong if one called it a sedition begotten by another sedition, and like a wild beast grown mad, which, for want of food from without, fell at last to eating its own flesh. § 2. For Eleazar, the son of Simon, who first separated the Zealots from the people, and made them retire into the temple, appeared very angry at John´s daily outrages upon the people (for he never left off murdering), but the truth was that he could not bear to submit to a tyrant who was later in point of time than himself. So being desirous of gaining the entire power and dominion for himself, he severed his connection with John, and formed a party consisting of Judas the son of Chelcias, and Simon the son of Ezron, who were influential persons, and Ezekias the son of Chobari, a person of eminence. Each of these were accompanied by a great many of the Zealots, and they seized upon the inner court of the temple, and placed their arms over the holy gates and upon the sacred fronts. And as they had plenty of provisions they were of good courage (for there was a great abundance of what was consecrated to sacred uses for such as scrupled not to make use of them), but they were afraid on account of their small numbers, and when they had laid up their arms there, they did not stir from the spot. As to John, whatever advantage he had over Eleazar in the number of his followers, he had as much disadvantage in the situation he was in; for as he had his enemies over his head, he could not make any assault upon them without loss, yet his anger was too great to let him be at rest. And although he suffered more mischief from Eleazar and his party than he could inflict upon them, yet he would not leave off assaulting them, so that there were continual sallies and hurling of missiles against one another, and the temple was defiled everywhere with slaughter.
