[285]
However, a little after this, Herod, upon the approach of a festival,
came with his soldiers into the city; whereupon Malichus was aftrighted,
and persuaded Hyrcanus not to permit him to come into the city. Hyrcanus
complied; and, for a pretense of excluding him, alleged, that a rout of
strangers ought not to be admitted when the multitude were purifying themselves.
But Herod had little regard to the messengers that were sent to him, and
entered the city in the night time, and aftrighted Malichus; yet did he
remit nothing of his former dissimulation, but wept for Antipater, and
bewailed him as a friend of his with a loud voice; but Herod and his friends
though, it proper not openly to contradict Malichus's hypocrisy, but to
give him tokens of mutual friendship, in order to prevent his suspicion
of them.
